Usually this means your MySQL daemon, mysqld, is not started. Which OS are
you using? Under RedHat Linux, you can get your mysqld running on init
runlevels 3 and 5 (network services with and without X-windows) this way:
% chkconfig --level 35 mysqld on
% /etc/init.d/mysqld start
check to make sure it's working:
% chkconfig --list mysqld
now your mysqld daemon will be running--and will start on runlevels 3 and
5 every time the system boots.
now try connecting to MySQL server via php script.
