All who do XML/PHP read this please

Anon

Ok I want to know if anybody else has had this problem, even if you think you don't .... check your apache error_log file and see if this error shows up:

[Wed Mar 6 10:44:42 2002] [error] (111)Connection refused: Cannot connect to DBM server

I have run a php script that uses xml, doesn't not use the DBM database at all!! What the heck?

PHP 4.0.0 works fine, no error
PHP 4.0.6 works fine, has error

I spent the entire day yesterday searching the web trying to find anybody who has had this problem. Nothing. I can't really tell the difference between the two server configurations that would cause this.

Any ideas?
