Re: [PHP] PHP-MYSQL Error: Can't connect to MySQL socket. Can someonehelp me out please?
Ok. I apologize for the mix. When I'm mailing someone, I simply don't get Google into mind. :) Thanks, Rahul On Sun, May 11, 2008 at 12:53 AM, Nathan Nobbe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sun, May 11, 2008 at 1:46 AM, Rahul P [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok I removed mysql using yum remove mysql. But is there a special way to tell yum to install that version of mysql? ahh, this is where google comes in for sure. it looks like you could download an older rpm, like from mysql and use 'yum localinstall' or there is a way to search for older versions that are still in the yum repos. heres a quick link i found http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=96684 -nathan -- Rahul Computer Engineering and Systems Division.

Re: [PHP] Can I make EasyPHP on Windows allow remote connections?
Looks like it is closed... Thanks. I will pay a visit to the Root... You've been of great help...

Actually I've been using EasyPHP through RDC but I thought I could use it directly... rdp has a special port that it runs over. mysql runs over 3306. just because they have the rdp port open doesnt mean they have the mysql one open. but again, good question for the lan admin. i doubt it has anything to do w/ easyPHP. when you say you have a 'web address' for your computer at work, does that mean you can connect to websites hosted on your computer from the internet (like from home for example [not using rdp])? if thats the case then your company also has port 80 open to your system as well, which still doesnt mean that 3306 is open. if you want, you can find out real quick yourself, by using nmap. just use the hostname for your box at work and nmap it. say for example your box has the name mybox.myoffice.com, then you do nmap mybox.myoffice.com if you dont see port 3306 in the list, likely you wont have direct access. but if you do have access over port 80 (web) you can install mysqlAdmin and get to it that way. -nathan -- Rahul Computer Engineering and Systems Division.

Re: [PHP] PHP-MYSQL Error: Can't connect to MySQL socket. Can someonehelp me out please?
Thanks. I just stopped mysql and when I try to start it again it throws another set of errors: chown: changing ownership of `/home-public/mysql6': Operation not permitted So I guess something is messed up completely. I wish I installed it better. Now the installing is messed up I guess with all sorts of bad files. I will try Google now... Thanks for the help... :) On Sun, May 11, 2008 at 12:17 AM, Nathan Nobbe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sun, May 11, 2008 at 1:05 AM, Rahul [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have recorded both the errors by changing the variable: $host = mycomputer.webaddress.com PHP Warning: mysql_connect(): Lost connection to MySQL server during query in /export/home/rpo219/may/conf_global.php on line 18 Lost connection to MySQL server during query i have seen this before, but i cant recall, specifically what the problem could be. i recommend google ;) $host = localhost PHP Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) in /export/home/rpo219/may/conf_global.php on line 18 Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' i believe this is because the user root, does not have permission to connect to the datbase from host 'localhost', especially since you said this didnt work from the command line either. you will have to add a grant clause to allow the root user to connect from the localhost. I found something weird for the first time: I tried looking at the mysql6 data directory and it says the following: total 28 drwxr-xr-x 3 nfsnobody nfsnobody 4096 May 10 23:57 . drwxrwxrwx 21 root root 4096 May 7 14:35 .. -rw-rw 1 nfsnobody nfsnobody 1009 May 10 23:57 mycomputer.webaddress.com.err drwxr-xr-x 2 nfsnobody nfsnobody 4096 Jan 24 20:07 mysql that is likely the way your distribution has designed the permission scheme for the mysql server. And when I try to change the ownership of the directory to mysql by [EMAIL PROTECTED] chown mysql ./mysql6 chown: changing ownership of `./mysql6': Operation not permitted this is probly because you dont have permission to make the change... you could do it via sudo, but i wouldnt recommend it. your distro has set it up this way on purpose. Just thought it might be related to the problem have you created any databases after installing mysql? you should create at least one, like test db or something, and its good practice to create a specific user to access the database through as well. instead of having php connect as root. thats like a hackers dream right there. -nathan -- Rahul Computer Engineering and Systems Division.

Re: [PHP] PHP-MYSQL Error: Can't connect to MySQL socket. Can someonehelp me out please?
Oh... This is the fourth time I'm doing that except that this time yum installed mysql6 instead of older versions... I don't see any way out other than reinstalling the OS itself... There are so many dependency failures I'm spending more time troubleshooting than actually coding something :) On Sun, May 11, 2008 at 12:27 AM, Nathan Nobbe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sun, May 11, 2008 at 1:22 AM, Rahul P [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks.

Thanks for the help... :) one benefit of package managers is that they let you uninstall and reinstall easily. are you using yum or apt-get ? in your first post you included both the commands.. anyway, id just uninstall and reinstall it; should take 10 minutes or so. -nathan -- Rahul Computer Engineering and Systems Division.

Re: [PHP] Can I make EasyPHP on Windows allow remote connections?
Well I thought it has something to do with EasyPHP because I'm able to use Remote Desktop Connection of Windows. Actually I've been using EasyPHP through RDC but I thought I could use it directly...

I have a web address alloted to my computer at office. this is primarily dependent upon firewall restrictions and subnet configurations at your office. most places ive worked at have their internal networks pretty well isolated from the internet, and for good reason. probly this question is better for the LAN admin at ur office ;) -nathan -- Rahul Computer Engineering and Systems Division.
