wats wrong? any help wud be appreciated, tenks!!!

Your php build doesn't have mysql support. Grab php-mysql package for your distro.

CARTMAN: That's not true, the function is declared so it's built with MySQL support.

Juker: Check the /etc/my.cnf file (or whereever you've your config file) and see if you have something like

Code:

[mysqld]

socket          = /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock

and a line that says

Code:

skip-networking

without being commented.
Oh by the way, try making another user, root has too many permissions ;)

thanks gbonvehi, my problem is stil there, anymore suggestion?

I'm not trying to offend you, but if /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock exists. (Many people get offend with this kind of questions but sometimes it happens ;) )

its ok.

if im working from the console, mysql is fine. wats the problem, the mysql.sock is also there!

gbonvehi, after installing mysql is there any configuration i need to do in order for mysql to work with php? or do u know some links (tutorial) for this?

There are plenty of tuturials and A&Q (here in LQ), do this, create a file, let's say: test.php and put inside:

Code:

<?

phpinfo();

?>

Put it somewhere on your webserver and access to it, there you'll see if PHP is configured right.
