I'm fairly new to all this and duing everything step by step... I made my first (test) php site - and it works... then, i have this script where i'm supposed to find out if MySQL and PHP talk with each other. and there i get the answer "Error 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (46)" and the tem-folder in my page root is empty, too. But i have PHPMyAdmin and i can log in there. i just have no clue where the files are and how i change it so that i finaly can start learning by doing... Thanks so much for the help... steve
