| Hi Folks,
I have a MySQL database running on Windows XP, that I want to disable
network connections to and enable 'named pipes'. I am running MySQL
5.0.27 and my.ini looks like...
[client]
#password = your_password
port = 3306
socket = /tmp/mysql.sock
[mysqld]
#port = 3306
socket = /tmp/mysql.sock
#Allow connections via named pipes (Windows NT+ only). Note: you can
specify a pipe name on the advanced network page, if required.
enable-named-pipe
#Don't allow connections via TCP/IP.
skip-networking
I can connect to the DB using the MySQL GUI tools if I set my pipe name
to '/tmp/mysql.sock' using the login dialog box.
However when I try and connect using PHP I get an error. I have tried
several variants of the connect command and I get various errors but all
are along the lines of:
Unknown MySQL server host '/tmp/mysql.sock' (11004) or
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)
I have tried
$mysqli = new mysqli(null, $username,$password, $database);
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost:/tmp/mysql.sock", $username,$password,
$database);
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", $username,$password,
$database,3306,"/tmp/mysql.sock");
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", $username,$password,
$database,"/tmp/mysql.sock");
$mysqli = new mysqli("/tmp/mysql.sock", $username,$password, $database);
I have also tried the above commands using mysqli_connect ? I have done
a few searches of the web but seem to always come up with something like
the above? Anybody have any ideas why it won't connect in PHP ?
TIA,
JC
