I'm trying to set up WordPress. I have Apache and MySQL running, and the accounts and database are all set up. I tried to make a simple connection:
$conn = mysql_connect('localhost', 'USER', 'PASSWORD');
if(!$conn) {
echo 'Error: ' . mysql_errno() . ' - ' . mysql_error();
}
?>
And I always get this:
Error: 2002 - No such file or
directory
What file or directory could it be talking about?
I'm on a OS X Snow Leopard, using the built-in Apache. I installed MySQL using the x86_64 dmg.
UPDATE: I found that the socket is at /tmp/mysql.sock, so In php.ini, I replaced all occurrences of the wrong path with that.
Answer
If you use Linux: the path to the mysql.sock file is wrong. This is usually because you are using (LAMPP) XAMPP and it isn't in /tmp/mysql.sock
Open the php.ini file and find this line:
mysql.default_socket
And make it
mysql.default_socket = /path/to/mysql.sock
