When I test it through the browser, it display:

Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) in /var/www/html/mysqlphp1.php on line 4

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) in /var/www/html/mysqlphp1.php on line 4

This usually happens when mysql isn't running.

Can you connect to MySQL on the command line using

mysql -u root -p

I can connect to mysql on the command line. I even made a table put insert some data. I just wonder why it will generate errors when i coded with PHP.

Please help.
