I don't understand. What did you ping? How does that mean it is running? Getting a response from a ping does not mean MySQL is running. Did you try connecting with a MySQL client from the command line? Have you looked at the running processes to see if it exists there? - Brad -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
