mysql_connect() problem

[OhLordy]

I am trying to connect to MySQL through one of my scripts on a remote server (they just had a complete upgrade so all is new) and I am getting an error reading

Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /var/www/html/testing.php on line 2

I know that all the parameters are correct as I can get into the database using PHPMyAdmin no problem.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks Rob

It seems that you are using default mysql user name and password. user name :- root and password :- "" in phpmyadmin . so kinldy check you testing.php script again some missing or it may be the cause that your mysql demon is not running but if you can access databases through phpmyadmin then obviously this is not the problem.

Buy the way if you provide me testing.php code then it will be easy for me to help you.
