Hi i am having the same error, How should my connnection code look like? Currently its

mysql_connect(“localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock”,”dbo377327247″,”password”);
But the error says

Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/tmp/mysql5.sock’ (2)

How should i link the socket to this code?

Thanks

Hi to all for me this problem occurred twice, so i just thought and understood the problem, when ever you are changing some config file related to mysql, better stop the service, edit you config, and start the service, then mysqld problem you will never face..

Calm down, maybe you are on the wrong message board. This is a technical message board. Sounds like you are looking for the Fisher Price Computer Users Group.

BTW also this occurs when your site under ddos attack.
In this situation mysqld will load high cpu usage too.

Hello. I’m a real newbie to all this so would be grateful for answers in words of one syllable and sorry if this is obvious to everyone else, but most comments are going over my head. I think if I can get past this bit, then I should be OK to do everything I want to do, I’m just stuck here, trying to get a connection.

I’m getting the ‘Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (2)’ error message.

I’ve set up my first MySQL database and its hosted on a remote web server so I don’t have access to config files. I’m on the client side, trying to connect so I can create some dynamic pages for my website.

My web hosting company are being less than helpful in helping me to sort this out. What sort of questions should I be asking them and then if they say I’m using the wrong socket, what php script would I need to specify (I would need it in full)?

Sorry, this must be really basic stuff for everyone else but it’s causing me a lot of grief and if I can just get through this I can actually do some work….

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
