Thanks a lot for your reply.
I have tried using
$host = "localhost";
$db = "dbname";
$table_main = "tablename";
$dbusername = "root";
$dbpass = "passhere";
mysql_connect($host, $dbusername, $dbpass) or die(mysql_error());
and
$host = "mycomputer.webaddress.com";
$db = "dbname";
$table_main = "tablename";
$dbusername = "root";
$dbpass = "passhere";
mysql_connect($host, $dbusername, $dbpass) or die(mysql_error());
And this mycomputer.webaddress.com works when I use with mysql like this:
mysql -h mycomputer.webaddress.com -u root -p
Thank You

I am using Fedora Core 4. As I was unable to use PHP or MySQL together, I
uninstalled both of them and installed again using the following commands:
yum install mysql
And then
apt-get install php php-devel php-gd php-imap php-ldap php-mysql php-odbc
php-pear php-xml php-xmlrpc curl curl-devel perl-libwww-perl ImageMagick
And then started the mysql server.
I am able to connect to the server from the console my typing
mysql -h <hostname> -u root -p <mypass>
However, when I try to connect to mysql through PHP I get the following
errors:
PHP Warning: mysql_query(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through
socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /export/home/rahul/may/sample.php
on line 5
PHP Warning: mysql_query(): A link to the server could not be established
in /export/home/rahul/may/sample.php on line 5
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
Can someone please help me out?
what is the hostname you are typing at the command line and what is the one
you are using when trying to connect from php? when using mysql, you will
have to have a separate entry for localhost connections.
