I'm having two errors when I test the "mysql_connect()" function in php. I just installed PHP and MySQL from scratch. These errors may be related, so I will post them both here:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Headers and client library minor version mismatch. Headers:50158 Library:50518 in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/index.php on line 6
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/index.php on line 6
Many websites say to start the mysql server if you are getting error #2. Whenever I execute the command
mysqld start --user=mysql
I get the error "mysqld: Too many arguments (first extra is 'start');
Adding the "&" to the end of the command makes no difference (I don't know if it is supposed to).
Thanks,
