[Xitami] Xitami, PHP and mySQL

[Gunnar Swan]

A bit off topic ...  I need to iron out connectivity and permissions.

PHP appear to work. I submit a form and I get a response back.
Until I try to connect to mySQL.  

<?
  mySQL_Connect("localhost","root","somePassword")
?>

produces the error ...

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't create TCP/IP socket (10106).
I've searched everywhere for an answer, but all docs blow past how to handle connection problems.
I'm using VB for CGI with success, but I really want to have PHP functionality too.

I've tried using "localhost:3306", my IP, my Domain.  I've tried all users.
I can open the database with MYSQL.EXE with all  User accounts.
Even Access - ODBC - MYSQL will see the data. 
Just not PHP.

Any help is appreciated.
