Hi. call this function, phpinfo(); in a *.php file.
That should return alot of usesfull info. Make sure the mysql extension is being loaded. If so check the value of the following php config var: ; Default socket name for local MySQL connects. If empty, ; uses the built-in ; MySQL defaults. mysql.default_socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock You may need to change the setting in php.ini to tell php to use the correct socket to talk to mysql on.
