Hey again, I still don't know how php gets the mysql-version, but anyway. Using the old mysql again plus the new php 4.0.4 - whenever I try to connect using phpadmin or any other php-file that uses mysql_connect () it breaks with this msg: --- Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10022) in lib.inc.php3 on line 119 Error MySQL said: --- I'm using w2k, mysql 3.23.22beta and php4.0.4, btw. It worked very well using php3. I've checked the ini-file, everything seems to be right (everything is set like with v3 of php). Connecting to mysql using a windows client-application works as well, so it seems to be a php issue. Does anyone have any idea how to fix that? No, I couldn't find anything about it in the FAQ nor in the docs. Thanks a lot in advance. -- PHP Install Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
