jazzbach Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Hi !!! I'm a total newbie in PHP and Mysql and just managed to install the "LAMP suite" on my ubuntu linux. The problem I have is this: I've created a small .php webpage that flawlessly connects to a mysql database locally (localhost). The problem is that the script can't connect from a remote computer to the database. The error that shows the remote computer is this: Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /opt/SERVER/apache2/htdocs/huesos_php_mysql/db_conection.php on line 6 Unable to connect to MySQL Please help.

trq Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 We need to see your call to mysql_connect(). Looks to me like your trying to connect to a local mysql server still.
