lorr2000 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I am really at a dead end here. I can't figure out what is wrong. This the error i am getting Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/includes/functions/database.php on line 19 Unable to connect to database server! I don't know why this is. I have the setting in etc/my.conf to point to /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock . I can create databases and all that no problem. I don't know why it is looking in /tmp/mysql.sock. Is it in the code anywhere that it specifies to look there. I need help please!!! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanR Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 You need to post the catalog/includes/configure.php file. Check this line first: define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/the/server/path/to/my/catalog/'); Obvously it does not look exactly like that. :D Local: Mac OS X 10.5.8 - Apache 2.2/php 5.3.0/MySQL 5.4.10 • Web Servers: Linux Tools: BBEdit, Coda, Versions (Subversion), Sequel Pro (db management) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unixfox Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I'm getting a similar error. and all I did was enable the PhPAdmin !! This is my error: Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'rolltexi_oscom@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/rolltexi/wwwroot/rolltexinc.com/osc/catalog/includes/functions/database.php on line 19 Unable to connect to database server!

unixfox Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I found this at the MYSQL web site. Maybe it will help. [2.3] The error message "Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111)..." is displayed. What can I do? For RedHat users, Harald Legner suggests this on the mailing list: On my RedHat-Box the socket of mysql is /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. In your php.ini you will find a line mysql.default_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock change it to mysql.default_socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock Then restart apache and it will work. Here is a fix suggested by Brad Ummer in the phpwizard forum: First, you need to determine what socket is being used by MySQL. To do this, telnet to your server and go to the MySQL bin directory. In this directory there should be a file named mysqladmin. Type ./mysqladmin variables, and this should give you a bunch of info about your MySQL server, including the socket (/tmp/mysql.sock, for example). Then, you need to tell PHP to use this socket. Assuming you are using PHP 3.0.10 or better, you can specify the socket to use when you open the connection. To do this in phpMyAdmin, you need to complete the socket information in the config.inc.php3. For example: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = '/tmp/mysql.sock'; Have also a look at the corresponding section of the MySQL documentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 You need to post the catalog/includes/configure.php file. Check this line first: define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/the/server/path/to/my/catalog/'); Obvously it does not look exactly like that. :D I'm having the same pb and I can't figure it out... How can I find out what my path is for 'DIR_FS_CATALOG'?? My error is the following: Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /data/11/0/133/7/948333/user/977971/htdocs/catalog/includes/functions/database.php on line 20 Unable to connect to database server! is it "/data/11/0/133/7/948333/user/977971/htdocs/catalog/"?? Please let me know... Mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kids Juke Box Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Dont know if this has been solved elsewhere, but I've received this error several times during some of our installation. Every time the problem has been in the configure.php files with this line: define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); Almost every host has a different setup, but this might solve the problem for you. You should be able to log into phpmyadmin or call tech support with your host, and they can provide you the server details. Ex. Here are a few examples of what it could look like... define('DB_SERVER', 'mysql123.myhost.com'); or GoDaddy, they use IP Address: define('DB_SERVER', '10.1.10.1'); **** Also, to find the path to your catalog you can use the phpinfo(); command. Create a file in Notepad and add the following: <?php phpinfo(); ?> Then save to a file called phpinfo.php (make sure that you do save it as .php instead of .txt) upload it to your server via ftp or your servers file manager. Then in your browser navigate to the file. ex. mydomain.com/phpinfo.php Scroll down and look for APACHE ENVIRONMENT, and the line DOCUMENT ROOT Hope this helps!

mousemedia Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Im having the same problem. My admin is not working, i get the Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/content/x/y/z/xyzhostname/html/admin/includes/functions/database.php on line 19 Unable to connect to database server! The main site works fine. I triple checked the admin/includes/configure.php settings and everything is perfect. I'm at a loss as I know my settings are correct, I've set up at least 6 osCommerce/CreLoaded sites. When I get this error, I first check the configure.php settings, fix, then I'm done. But this time, I'm stumped. The regular site works a charm, the admin is giving me a headache. Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Dan, Typically that error message has nothing to do with the database.php file. It is normally a user name / password mismatch for the database. Confirm the database name, User name and Database Password are correct. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
