Hello all
I am a newbie to Linux, Apache and mySQL etc. I am running a standard RH9
build with yum updates. All appears to be working ok except one aspect.
Simple database (indexed 2 table)activity works but on a more sophisticated
existing database accessed through a perl script I get this error (taken
from logs): -
[Tue Apr 27 20:22:52 2004] [error] [client 192.168.0.12] [Tue Apr 27
20:22:52 2004] lbf.cgi: DBI
connect('userna me_disney:local host','username _lettuce',...) failed: Can't
connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'
(13) at /home/username/public_html/dating/cgi-bin/scripts/new_database.pl
line 6, referer: http://www.awebsite.loc/
I have checked that the daemon is up and all standard checks recommended
from the mySQL site show the socket is connecting ok and for TCP/IP on port
3306 etc....
Any ideas please? Thanks in advance
