only php can't access mysql
hellotoday after a high load on my server I had to restart mysql and httpd a few times
after doing this, i could connect to httpd and to mysql... I even got to run a perl script that connected to mysql without problem
the problem is that php programs wasn't getting to access mysql
the error was the default one like "couldn't connect to /var/tmp/mysql.sock", or something like that
i tried to stop mysql, do killall -9 mysqld, start, restart, and so one... and nothing worked
since the problem probably wasn't on mysql (I could access it running mysql client), i tried restart httpd too... and still didn't work
just got back after a reboot
anyideas why it may have happened?
