Re: [PHP] PHP-MYSQL Error: Can't connect to MySQL socket. Can someonehelp me out please?
I have recorded both the errors by changing the variable: $host = "mycomputer.webaddress.com" PHP Warning: mysql_connect(): Lost connection to MySQL server during query in /export/home/rpo219/may/conf_global.php on line 18 Lost connection to MySQL server during query $host = "localhost" PHP Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) in /export/home/rpo219/may/conf_global.php on line 18 Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' I found something weird for the first time: I tried looking at the mysql6 data directory and it says the following: total 28 drwxr-xr-x 3 nfsnobody nfsnobody 4096 May 10 23:57 . drwxrwxrwx 21 root root 4096 May 7 14:35 .. -rw-rw 1 nfsnobody nfsnobody 1009 May 10 23:57 mycomputer.webaddress.com.err drwxr-xr-x 2 nfsnobody nfsnobody 4096 Jan 24 20:07 mysql And when I try to change the ownership of the directory to mysql by [EMAIL PROTECTED] chown mysql ./mysql6 chown: changing ownership of `./mysql6': Operation not permitted Just thought it might be related to the problem Thanks, Rahul Rahul wrote: Thanks a lot for your reply.

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...

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?
