What is the string your using to make the connection in the PHP script?

snip out the hostnames and stuff for security reasons.

Subject: [cobalt-developers] MySQL PHP problem


Hi

I have started to have a bit of success with MySQL and PHP but am
struggling because I cannot get any shell access from home through our
firewall.

Attempting to list the databases via PHP I get

 

 Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
 '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111) in (directory path snipped) on line 9
 
Dunno if this helps but:-

If I run a <?php phpinfo(); ?> line then I get
a lovely set of details but the mysql set says the directive for default
port and socket have no value.

Any ideas?  Is this because of the firewall or something I need to
change in the config?

TIA
