All
i wrote the following perl script and tried to connect to mysql database:
# File name fig13.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use DBI;
$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:zipcodes","username","mypass");
if ($dbh) {
print "Connection successful\n";
}
then after giving execute permission, i tried to run it by:
# perl fig13.pl
I get error message:
DBI->connect(zipcodes) failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through
socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) at ./fig13.pl line 5
zipcodes is the database i created in mysql.
When i manually type
# mysql -u username -p zipcodes
I get prompt for passwd and when i tyep it, it takes me to the mysql promt.
So mysql server is running and that user has permission to acces "zipcodes"
database.
What did i wrong or what can i do to make it work??
thanks for your help
Pran
