corbin Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 It means permission is denied to the socket. You either need to change the permissions, or an easier solution would be to just use a TCP connection. IE mysql_connect('host') Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/133695-mysql-connection-trouble/#findComment-695797 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haplo Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 How would he change permissions? And to what would he change permissions to? What about using a TCP connection? (how would I do that) Where is mysql_connect() found?
