Hi,

I have apache, php, phpmyadmin, and mysql in my computer.

I could connect to mysql and manipulate database well before. But for an unknown reason, I can't do it now. Each time when I tried to do this, it gave an error message as "Can't create TCP/IP socket (10091)". My simplified php script is:

<?php
mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password");
?>

I will really appreciate it if someone would help me.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your reply. I will try your code sometime. But I guess the problem might come from Apache because it works fine now when I switched to Abyss.

It appears Apache has more protection than that Abyss does. So, I will switch back and test your code.

Do you have any thoughts on my reply? As my name, php novice, indicates, any reply will be helpful.

Thank you again.

Well to tell the truth i think your previouscode should have worked, al i can really think of is that there may be a problem later on in the code, i have never acctually come accross that specific error myself...

You may be able to get more information on the problem by using mysql_error()

e.g:

[php]
<?php
$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password");
or die (mysql_error());
?>
[/php]

Hope this helps,
