Hello,

I am not quite sure if this is the correct mailing list to post this
question, but here I go anyway. I have a vanilla Fedora Core 3
installation, and I am trying to run a php script through a local
website that has calls into a MySQL database. I can run this script
at the command line using the php PHPScript.php command, and it runs
perfectly. When I run it through the firefox web browser, I get an
error that says:

[client 127.0.0.1] PHP Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Can't connect to local
MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) in
/var/www/html/index.php on line 4

I have checked the socket, it exists. Again, if I run this script just
using php, it works just fine. However, when running it through Apache or
httpd it does not. What am I doing incorrectly?

Thank you for your time,
Robert
