I followed the directions exactally on getting mysql to load at startup after changing the password. that were said from a previous post editing /etc/rd.d/init.d/mysqld to say: if !([ -n "`/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u UNKNOWN_USER ping 2> /dev/null`" then I run this from a terminal? perl -pi -e 's/mysqladmin ping/mysqladmin -u dummyuser ping/g' /etc/init.d/mysqld ok, I did that. still having errors connecting to mysql from my PHP files. I can't find the bugzilla report on this, I did a search and found nothing. how do I fix this? I have tried everything I can think of. I never had this problem in redhat 9, 8 or 7.3 thats all I know. just suddenly appeared in fedora core 1. I am still using the default mysql 3.23 that is shipped with fedora. if I run /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start from a terminal, it starts ok, but I can't connect to mysql from my PHP programs. :( any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks :) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
