Hi All, I am able to connect to Mysql via command line using mysql client. I am also able to connect to mysql via php if I run those php programs via command line. However when I hit those php pages via the browser it throws the error Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2). Please note that this is the same socket the mysql client tries to connect to the server. Regards Deepan Sudoku Solver: http://www.sudoku-solver.net/
