Hello, I was using a FAMP (FreeBSD Apache MySQL PHP) server for some web development I was doing. Then I had to switch over the php pages to a Linux box, however, the database is still on FreeBSD. Does that make any difference? The reason why I ask is because I keep getting this error. I use "die ('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());" Could not connect: Can't connect to MySQL server on xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (13). If I use "die ('Could not connect: ' . mysql_errno());" Could not connect: 2003 I did some research on error 2003 and it appears that I would see this if communication access was not established. However, if I try connecting to the mysql database using the command line I have no problems. Mysql -u some_user -p -h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx This only started after I started using linux as web server and freebsd as database. If there is a more appropriate mailing list to ask this questions, please feel free to direct me towards it. Tom Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
