Having to set up a server from scratch and install PHP & MySQL, running into an issue getting PHP to connect to MySQL. I can successfully connect to the database via command line, but when I try to do it through PHP I get this error:

#2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)

The mysql server is running and can be connected to via command line. The .sock file is in the correct path and is chmod 777 so it can be connected to by any user.

Running PHP Version 5.2.14. MySQL Client API version 5.0.90, MySQL version 5.1.50

Using phpMyAdmin to connect, and have tried tcp and socket type connections. All give the same error.

  • Wow. Ok so I found it. Talk about strange problem. Saw in the system logs "SELinux is preventing the http daemon from connecting to network port 3306 For complete SELinux messages." so I disabled SeLinux (whatever the hell that is) and it appears to be working now. Good ol logs save the day.

You have to configure phpmyadmin to access you server.

Read faq 2.2 and 2.3 and also Setup script.

  • Something with PHP cause even this doesn't work: mysql_connect("localhost:3306","root","XXX");

  • Maybe some permission problems. Look into log files or enable display PHP errors.

  • If you trying to connect via TCP connection, not via local socket, check that mysqld listens on that port (netstat -an | grep 3306). If it is not - remove skip-networking option from config file.
