mysql_connect never completes execution

[Ralf Seliger]

Hi,

I hope someone here has a clue as to what is going on since I am
completely baffled by the following:

I'm working with a PHP/MySQL-web application called Moodle. When this
application is started from a web browser, one of the first things to
happen is a call to mysql_connect which succeds without any problems.

One component of moodle is a so called chat daemon which is just another
PHP-Script. The only difference to the other scripts that together make
up Moodle is that this script is to be started from the command line.

The script also calls mysql_connect from the same line with the same
arguments, but this call to mysql_connect never returns. No connection
ID, no false value, no error message, just nothing. mysql_connect is
called but never completes execution.

And I did wait longer than mysql.connect_t imeout.

Can anybody here offer an explanation?

Regards
Ralf Seliger

That's strange. What happens if you run the script from a command line
prompt? Maybe something else is getting involved.

Command line PHP is typically parsed through a different binary and has
a few different options:

http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php

Apart from that, it's likely that your command line binary is using a
different php.ini file. Run <?php phpinfo(); ?from command line to
check the exact settings being used. I'd say display_errors is off and
that's why you get no errors :-?
