Greetings. I have followed your tutorials and my apache and php work. (I run a linux box) mysql is installed as I can see databases. When I want to connect, I get the error (cannor recall the correct format and wording) function mysql_connect unable to connect ..../tmp/mysql.sock

I have tried changing the /etc/my.cnf file settings as mysql.sock is in /var/lib/mysql.sock but when I look at the properties, it shows 0 file size.

Could you possibly assist.

Many thanks and kind regards
Dmitri
