    Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)

    I have other web pages on this same machine using mysql just fine.
    I get this error if I try to create the data base in install.php and also if I use a created and populated database.

    any ideas
    thanks
    bob

    what are you using for the database host? have you tried 127.0.0.1?

    same thing with 127.0.0.1

    I am running Fedora core 3 , PHP 4.3.10 , my SQL 4.1.1

    I manually created the files and that fails with a similar error.

    I have other applications running using PHP and mysql just fine.
