Hi everyone ! I'm from Poland. I set in mySql server, that it can work with Latin 2 charset All is fine, but when i try accessing to databases through php 4.0.4pl1 a have error like below Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't initialize character set 9 (path: default) in /home/httpd/html/test.php4 on line 3 Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) in /home/httpd/html/test.php4 on line 4 My system is: Linux RedHat 6.2 apache 1.3.12 PHP 4.0.4pl1 as shared module for apache. I see that it is php module bug. I have apache and php 4.0.4pl1 on my win98 machine. That errors don't occur. What can i solve this problem ??
