Look at the message (in my original post) again. It sure looks like a php 
message to me, but perhaps I misunderstand. Is "mysql_connect()" a php 
function or a libmysql function? Also, the reverence to the manual 
"[function.mysql-connect.chm]" is in the message (I think because I turned 
on the option for it); is that a reference to the php documentation or MySQL 
documentation? If it is a libmysql message, then it is not clear to me that 
it is. How am I supposed to know that?

If you mean the "MySQL Manual | A.2.2 Can't connect to [local] MySQL server" 
page, then it is misleading; see my other reply about it.

And again, many people are having this problem. A small hint in the (or a) 
php message and in the php documentation will likely help many people.
