I thought I was being reasonable. I thought I was clear about saying I was not sure it is a PHP problem. I was trying to help by helping diagnose a problem. If it is not a problem then you could say so in a more reasonable manner. If you always react to people this way when they are trying to help then you will have an inferior product since you discourage people from helping. I am not assuming; that is why I am asking this question. You really can say the same thing except without the emotions. You can simply state the fact that as far as you know it is not a PHP problem. It really, really helps to keep in mind that it is better to simply state facts. That keeps things less emotional and generally keeps things at a more reasonable level. > Sounds like your > firewall is blocking both local and external connections. Can you telnet > to port 10061 on localhost with the firewall enabled? I think the PHP messages need to be documented. It is unclear whether 10061 is a port or an error code. Are you sure it is a port? I am not aware of MySQL using port 10061. I did not change anything to specify port 10061 and this is a fresh install of MySQL. Again, if you think that what I described sounds like it is normal behavior, then simply saying so helps a lot. If it is normal behavior, then it would probably help a lot of people to say so somewhere. One reason I say that the PHP messages need to be documented better is indicated by all the many others with the same problem. If you search for: +mysql_connect +10061 You will find many web sites that have that error. It is a common problem that many people are encountering and it appears that many people don't know how to solve it; their web sites are down. Many of the other results are from people asking about the problem and it is not clear how many of them have not solved the problem. It appears that many have not.
