cannot connect to mysql database from php
 

Hello

I use Fedora Core 3, fresh installation after system crash.

When I access my website, that worked before, I cannot access the databases from php.

I get this error:

Aug 20 10:39:22 linuxweber kernel: audit(1124523562.084:0): avc: denied { write } for pid=2665 exe=/usr/sbin/httpd name=mysql.sock dev=dm-0 ino=1295621 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t tcontext=root:object_r:var_lib_t tclass=sock_file

I can connect directly to the mysql server with the mysql client with the user and password the php script uses.

Any suggestion will be most appreciate.

Thank you.

that is SELinux poking it's nose in. there should be some redhat-config-security utility or somethign that will handle the context permissions there. Personally i've just turned it off..

thank you acid_kewpie for your assistence.

Unfortunately I lost my patience in the process and I've installed slackware 10 which I'm used to. I had to work a bit on settings but it works well.

Thank you again.
