Did you check that the necessary environment variables were set? Cron doesn't read your profile before launching the executable. Check to see that php from within cron can read the php.ini file. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-07 10:07:17] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I forgot to mention that the scripts connect fine from the command line and only failed to connect from cron. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-07 09:50:07] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a few PHP scripts that execute from a php binary from a cron job. Since changing to version 4 they fail to connect to the database with a :- "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'" error, or :- "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'xxxx'" if I don't use the local socket method of connecting. I've tried these versions of php and a few different versions of mysql all with the above same results php-4.0.3pl1 php-4.0.6 php-4.1.0 I've reverted the binary to version php-3.0.18 and it all works fine As the scripts are quite simple I only need mysql with the php binary, my configuration for the binaries is :- ./configure --enable-track-vars --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15933&edit=1
