[cobalt-users] Connecting to my MySQL from PHP on my RAQ3

["Steven Young" <steven.young@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm a bit of a newbie to MySQL but I'm having no success connecting to the
pre-installed MySQL on my RAQ3 via PHP. I can do PHPINFO(); and it seems PHP
is compiled fine to work with MySQL...

Here's the snippet of PHP I am using to connect:-

<?php
    $link = mysql_connect ("localhost", "root", "password")
        or die ("Could not connect");
    print ("Connected successfully");
    mysql_close ($link);
?>

The error message I get is:-

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server
through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111) in /home/sites/site11/web/dbtest.php
on line 10
Could not connect

I'm sure I have had this working fine on a local RedHat system next to me,
but can anyone give me any clues as to why it won't work on my RAQ3?

Thanks,
Steven
