I have neither installed. I exact error I am getting is as follows: Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111) in /var/www/html/dbs/db- email.php on line 12. Line 12 of that php file works fine on a RH 6.2 system, and it reads as follows: $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "apache"); If I were to run the MySQL client from the command line like this 'mysql -u apache' I can connect to the server, change to the appropriate database and perform a query on it. I believe that I have the correct rights set up within the mysql database. I am not sure what the problem is. ---Here's a thought that just hit me.... The error above mentions not being able to connect to the socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' Hmmmm, the server is running and that sock file is not in /tmp. It resides in /var/lib/mysql with the databases. Is this the problem???? How could I fix it? Where do I tell PHP where the sock file is? Thank-you, Mike
