help : php cannot connect to local mysql server

["Wang Hui" <whui@mail.ustc.edu.cn>]

Dear all,

I have a problem when I make my php scripts connecting to the local mysql server.  

When the php scripts running, it returns that: 

MySQL said: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

But if I use the 'mysql' command in consol mode, I can connect to the local server.  So the server itself is running.  And what's more, I checked that there exists a file named '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock'.  So I am puzzled what the problem here ?

I am using the latest OpenBSD version with MYSQL package installed. 

I am expecting your suggestions. Thanks in advance ...

best regards, 
Wang Hui
