PHP, mysql

[Anon]

MySql is working but

I cannot connect using PHP

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111) in /var/www/html/db.php

also if I telnet into port 3306 on my box I get

host 'linuxserver' is not allowed to connect to this MySql serverConnection

please help

I think the problem is that you have not started mysql first.
Check for
mysql/libexec/mysqld
and start that file... (I'm not so sure about this, but this is how I did it on
my own server)
