Re: [PHP] PHP-MYSQL Error: Can't connect to MySQL socket. Can someonehelp me out please?
Thanks. I just stopped mysql and when I try to start it again it throws another set of errors: chown: changing ownership of `/home-public/mysql6': Operation not permitted So I guess something is messed up completely. I wish I installed it better. Now the installing is messed up I guess with all sorts of bad files. I will try Google now...

Re: [PHP] PHP-MYSQL Error: Can't connect to MySQL socket. Can someonehelp me out please?
Oh... This is the fourth time I'm doing that except that this time yum installed mysql6 instead of older versions... I don't see any way out other than reinstalling the OS itself... There are so many dependency failures I'm spending more time troubleshooting than actually coding something :) On Sun, May 11, 2008 at 12:27 AM, Nathan Nobbe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sun, May 11, 2008 at 1:22 AM, Rahul P <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Thanks.

Ok I removed mysql using yum remove mysql. But is there a special way to tell yum to install that version of mysql?

Re: [PHP] Can I make EasyPHP on Windows allow remote connections?
Well I thought it has something to do with EasyPHP because I'm able to use Remote Desktop Connection of Windows. Actually I've been using EasyPHP through RDC but I thought I could use it directly...

Ok. I apologize for the mix.
