Hi there
The database is now running, i've created my tables and put the data inside. This is fine. Next step is to create a PHP-Website which communicates with the database, but i am not able to connect over my apache (this is what it seems to me). to log into the database I use > mysql -p dkv (password is ppp user is dcp) anything is ok. my php-script looks like this: <?php $host = "localhost"; $user = "dcp"; $pass = "ppp"; $conex = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass); if($conex) { echo "Connection established.<br>\n"; mysql_close(); } else { echo "No Connection<br>"; echo mysql_errno() . ":" . mysql_error . "<br>"; } ?> If I put this into a file on the server and access it with my browser, I get this error: Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /eshop/apache/share/htdocs/sql/ connect.php on line 5 Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /eshop/apache/ share/htdocs/sql/connect.php on line 5 No Connection 2002:mysql_error What am I doing wrong? Could it be, that i don't have the necessary modules loaded into my apache? I am new to this, please be kind with me :-)))) Thanks in advance dcp --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
