i m having a problem::
i m using fedora 10...
and when i tried to run a simple php program (code is given below)

<?php
$dbhost = 'localhost.localdomain.com:3306';
$dbuser = 'root';
$dbpass = 'root123';
$link = mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass);
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>

the browser shows the following error message....

"Could not connect: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost.localdomain.com' (4)"

httpd is assign a 8080 port no.
if you know any solution then help me out.........

As your error message says:

Your web server is up, but it appears that MySQL isn't running. If MySQL isn't running, you won't be able to connect to the database. Start MySQL up with the "/etc/init.d/mysql start" command.

And http is usually running on port 80, unless you configure it otherwise, or your distro ships with the config set to 8080. You can run it on alot of different ports...

Is your MySQL-Daemon configured to listen on Port 3306? Have a look at your corresponding my.cnf in your mysqld config directory.

i m using fedora 10
php5 and mysql-5.0.67 and the packages are updated. also i can use the services separately but not able to connect php and mysql..
and when i simply run this code

<?php
$link=mysql_connect('localhost.localdomain:3306',"root","123");
if($link)
echo "connected";
else
echo "1";
?>

and i get "1" as a result.........

changes in /etc/php.ini

\\\extension=mysql.so
mysql_default_port=3306
mysql_socket_port=3306///

changes in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

\\\listen:10.2.13.124:8080
servername www.localhost.localdomain.com:8080

but still i m not able to connect to the mysql database.........
wat i m doing wrong????????

i would really appreciate if u help.......

You misunderstood me.

There is a mysqld configuration file (in slackware it's /etc/my.cnf). There are the settings for the database server itself. You should have a look especially at these lines:

port = 3306
skip-networking

What do they say in your configuration?

here's the my.cnf file
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
user=root
# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x
# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
old_passwords=123

# To allow mysqld to connect to a MySQL Cluster management daemon, uncomment
# these lines and adjust the connectstring as needed.
ndbcluster
ndb-connectstring="nodeid=4;host=localhost.localdomain:3306"

[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

[ndbd]
# If you are running a MySQL Cluster storage daemon (ndbd) on this machine,
# adjust its connection to the management daemon here.
# Note: ndbd init script requires this to include nodeid!
connect-string="nodeid=2;host=localhost.localdomain:3306"

[ndb_mgm]
# connection string for MySQL Cluster management tool
connect-string="host=localhost.localdomain:3306"

Ok. Append this to your [mysqld]-part:
port = 3306


and then restart the mysqld and look for a listening connection on port 3306.

you can do this with nmap:
nmap localhost -p3306

or with netstat:
netstat -tan | grep 3306

Tell me if this helped.

thanks for ur help i really apreciate it.. but i changed my.cnf by adding "skip-grant-tables" and then restarting again and reseting the password of root user in mysql.user table and then deleting the "skip" line and restarting the service again and it worked thanx for ur help anywayz....

You might want to check the other thread you opened, asking how to import Access data into MySQL. There are answers there.
