It's really strange. I downloaded the latest 4.0.16 RPM from mysql.com
and installed it to my Fedora system, and did *not* do anything else
(Actually I am completely new to mysql).
I wrote a test php script to test mysql (ftp_connect('localhost',
'root');), but got the following error:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through
socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/custcare/dbconn.inc on line 2
I ran phpBB2 installation page, got the same error. But it can connect
to mysql using my computer name. Anyone can help???

ps aux | grep mysql
If mysqld's not running; start it...!

Base problem, it's not PHP that's causing the difficulty, MySQL isn't
running a server. Get a command line MySQL client session going first.

Okay, Thanks for replies. But I have found out the solution myself. It
seems that the RPM setup package did not create the socket file in
/tmp. I did:
ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock
and all is fine now. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
