Ok so I new to linux, I usually work with windows but I wanted to learn something new. At first I had a small problem where I had to 'chown' the file to myself for it to allow me to show the php page. Now I get the error ''Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111 in /home/ovh/www/php/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 355" I am running Gentoo Linux if that changes anything. I haven't touched any settings so is there something I need to set up before it can work?
