Linking to MySQL

[graham]

I've instaled PHP 3.0.16 via rpm. It's up and running with a phpinfo() page showing MySQL support. However, when I try to link to MySQL via mysqladmin type of program I get a

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) in lib.inc.php3 on line 97

Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function mysql_die() in lib.inc.php3 on line 97

error. I' ve added the correct user name and password into the lib.inc.php3 file so I'm lost at the moment. Any ideas welcome. Thanks!

I need a bit more infomation, can you post some of the code. (let's see stuff around line 97 of lib.inc.php3)

Do you have MySQL installed and running?

mysql_die() is not a PHP function so you either made a typo of you are not including some library that should be included.

Make sure your mysql daemon is running
You can check its status at
/etc/rc.d/init.d/./mysqld status

If it is not started then start it
by typing ./mysqld start

After this your scripts should run

Note: I have assumed that mysql was already
installed on your system

hope i was of some help ......Ryan

can you access mysql with mysql client?

check where you mysql.sock ir

i guess it is not in /var/lib/mysql/

by default it is in /tmp or in /var/run

check those things 😉
