Our MySql server is an established server that I can successfully connect to from other web servers. When I run my php script I see no attempt made to connect to the mysql server but do see the attempt and subsequent activity when connecting via the command line. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Bomgardner [mailto:mbomgardner@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 2:46 PM To: 'Robbert van Andel' Subject: RE: New Server Install Ok, then a couple of things to check. Even though you can login through the command line, when you set up MySQL is your host name the same as the host you are trying to connect from. When you log in through the command line, you may be logging in from the "localhost" whereas when you login from your webpage, you are trying to login from your web server host name. This may be something you want to check. Log in to your mysql server from the command line, switch to the Mysql datasbase and run SELECT * FROM user\G this will give you a readable print of your users. markb -----Original Message----- From: Robbert van Andel [mailto:robbert@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 4:40 PM To: mbomgardner@xxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: New Server Install That didn't work :(.

Not sure why, but I have had this happen on a couple of boxes. markb -----Original Message----- From: Robbert van Andel [mailto:robbert@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 4:13 PM To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: New Server Install I am working on a new webserver running Fedora 9. I installed php-mysql and php-mssql via yum. When I try to connect to our mysql server using php, I get the following error: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'mysqlservername' (13) Here's the weird part, I can connect to the mysql database server just fine from the web server's command line so I'm pretty confident that it's not a firewall issue. While trying to connect using PHP, I see no packets leaving the webserver. Any thoughts?
