This very cryptic error message is what you get when you try to connect to the mysql server and it's not running.
It should probably read: mysql_real_connect(): Failed because there is no server running. Run a server and try again. Anyway, if your machine is properly set up to run mysql on boot, you can run: /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start if not, try reading the manual about how to run mysql for the first time. -steve > mysqltest: Failed in mysql_real_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server >through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) -- Steve Rapaport World Citizen --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
