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
Since the database is on FreeBSD, it's a seperate machine?
This probably means that you're not allowed to connect to the machine
by LAN, but only through localhost, and you should take a look at your
mysql config file on the FreeBSD machine.
Where do you run the command line? on your freeBSD machine or your Linux box?
