I have never done this but... Go to your php.ini file and see if changing the [MySQL] mysql.default_host = is set to the database.

Holzapfel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2004 12:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Connect to MySQL via PHP Hello Listers, I have a problem with my PHP/redhat setup, and possible problem with my Mysql setup. I have Apache (2.0) and PHP (4.3.2) installed on a Red Hat 3.0 ES system. I have MySql installed on a Slackware linux box. I want to be able to use Apache/PHP to connect to the mysql database on the slackware box. I "think" that PHP is set up ok, which may be a lie, because PHP says it does not recognize the commands like - mysql_pconnect and mysql_connect. Also if I try to connect to the database using something like this: mysql://user,[EMAIL PROTECTED] demodb this fails and the "or die getMessage()" returns DB: no such database. (I am trying to use the Pear DB here) Do I need to have mysql installed on the red hat machine? I can connect to the slackware linux box from a Windows machine using ODBC. Any ideas on what I have not done, or what I have done wrong? eric -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
