Hi,
I am also having a problem a problem with php & mysql

error message by sql connect:
Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (13)

But it seems it should be running as
>>*tail /var/log/mysqld.log
…
091112 15:18:16 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld: ready for connections.
Version: ‘5.0.67’ socket: ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ port: 3306 SUSE MySQL RPM
*

I already disabled SELinux, tried to shutdown firwall but no effect…

Any help on this one?

Are you experimenting with PhpMyAdmin or you wrote your own php pages?
I had the same problem and resolved it pointing config.inc.php (for PhpMyAdmin) or whatever you use for your pages to my MySql Server IP instead of localhost.

#3

bind mysql to listen locally on UNIX sockets - disable network binding by enabling the skip-networking option in /etc/my.cnf

#4

Try YaST>System>System Services (Runlevel) and see if the mysql daemon is running.

Thanks that did the trick even though I had my own php script, still very strange…
