I get the results at the bottom of this e-mail from running a simple mysql_connect command. Some things to consider are that I'm accessing my web site through port 8080, and I'm not sure what username, password, or hostname I should be using. Does anyone know how to find out what username, password, and hostname I should be using? And should I include my port number after my hostname? Sorry. I'm new at this stuff. =============================== Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111) in /index.php on line 9 Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111) in /index.php on line 9 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
