I also have the problem described by Jason, or a somewhat similar
one. The MySQL command line monitor works fine, but when
php mysql functions are called from a script I get
Can't connect to local MySQL server
through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'
which is kind of odd because in the process of getting
PHP4 installed, I removed and reinstalled MySQL, and changed
the layout in the process: the mysql directory
was moved from /var/lib to /usr/local/mysql/var
and PHP4 was configured with '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql'
... so I don't know why php appears to be referring
to /var/lib/mysql at all.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Paul N.
