I'm really new to all of this and have been following through the tutorials this afternoon. All happened as advertised (very rare for a computing tutorial!!) until i had to stray from the instructions to get a up-to-date version of MySQL. I had a similar problem to those posted below, with the following output from the php file: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) and various other problems. Finally i have managed to make it work. Did this by simply creating the directory structure and moving the mysql.sock file from the /tmp directory into the newly created directory. The commands i used are: sudo mkdir -p mysql cd /tmp sudo mv mysql.sock /var/mysql/ And as if by magic, it worked - and the 4 hours spent on it seem a little less wasted! Fantastic articles, the only useful tutorials on this subject that i've found! Jeremy
