Many of you have asked me questions about which RPM I used, did I recompile Apache/PHP etc. I used, as most people do rightly or wrongly, the latest full set of MySQL RPM's, and I did not recompile PHP as I am somewhat dubious to do so on these new RaQ4 servers. I find integrated/pre-installed software always causes 'problems'. I have since got connections working through the web, and I thank all who gave me tips and advice. The problem seems to be that I can not connect using the host "localhost" in the 'mysql_connect' function, instead I have to use the hardcoded primary base DNS of my server - "dns0.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" as the host. I did ofcourse check that all my user info was correct in the USER table, and I can use 'localhost' to connect and query in a shell, just not through PHP. If anyone knows a good reason for this then, once again your assistance would be gratefully received.
