My MySQL runs on a SPARC and my other web servers have no problem connecting to it. Only the Mac does. I basically copied one of the PHP files from another server to the OS X machine and it's throwing errors saying "can't connect to MySQL server ...blah blah blah" when I run it. I can telnet to port 3306 on the Solaris machine from the Mac (that works fine). I'm just wondering if I need to enable some MySQL libraries for PHP before it works right on the Mac.
