Hi, I've been writing software on the mac since 1987, but am brand new at unix/php/mysql, and that's where I'm headed so I'm reading everything I can get my hands on, but like anything else there's going to be a learning curve, that having been said...
I followed the install instructions at http://entropy.ch , and was able to get mySql & php installed on my G4 -> (OSX 10.2.6) last night. I downloaded Navicat and setup a password for the mysql user. I created a connection called myDatabase_connection to a database called myDatabase. I was able to get everything running OK. Today when I restarted the machine, I tried to launch the php program that I was running last night, and kept getting an error 2002 below. Could someone take a look at the syntax below and see if you could spot what I am doing wrong? Thank you very much... Bill Hernandez Last login: Sat Aug 9 20:00:07 on console Welcome to Darwin!
