I got error when using mysql_connect function in my php script.
If i set the db host to localhost, it give me that error altough all
the user and password that I wrote is true(I can login using that
username/passwd using mysql console), but when I change the db host
into 127.0.0.1 mysql_connect will work.
What were you using before?
before I use mysql_connect("localhost","root","password") this not
working but when I use mysql_connect("127.0.0.1","root","password")
will work

Have you checked if 'localhost' resolves?

Bye!
