From: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/connecting.html On Unix, MySQL programs treat the host name localhost specially, in a way that is likely different from what you expect compared to other network-based programs. For connections to localhost, MySQL programs attempt to connect to the local server by using a Unix socket file. On OpenBSD, the MySQL socket file is outside the httpd chroot, so your PHP script can't access it. Accessing 127.0.0.1 over TCP is no problem. Paul. -- -- Paul D.
