Hi Sandhya, Have you checked the permissions? The error message is System error: 13 = Permission denied. Is your PHP/Apache user able to connect via the socket? Try connecting as
$ su <php/apache user> -c "mysql -u <user you connect with> -p" and see what happens.

I'm able to connect to MYSQL from command prompt. But the problem fires when I do the same from a PHP script. The error I get is "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)". And I'm sure that MYSQL server is running and able tp connect from command prompt. I have been searching on the net for the same from the last 3 days but ended with nothing. I have changed php.ini to include the mysql_default_socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. even then it doen't work. Earlier I had FC1 and everthing was working fine! Could please suggest me a solution to tackle this problem. Thanks in Advance Sandhya __________________________________ Yahoo!
