skip-networking is uncommented in the [mysqld] section of my.cnf I did discover something interesting this morning. When starting the MySQL server with mysqld_safe, I cannot connect to the server with my php script. However, I started the server this morning with /etc/init.d/mysqld start, and the php script connects just fine. Can anyone tell me why the difference? >>> "Matteo Cisilino" <matteo@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 10/27/2006 9:15 AM >>> Alle 16:36, venerdì 27 ottobre 2006, ROGER DEBRY ha scritto: check if your mysql daemon doesn't skip networking > Some further information/questions on this problem. > > I wrote a small program just to see if I could connect to the mysql > socket, and I could. > Looking at seliunx policy, I note an item called "Allow HTTPD scripts > to and modules to connect to the network." > That item is unchecked.
