[gentoo-user] php & mysql problem

[Martin S]

Hi all,

I'm installing Apach2, Mysql 5.0.18 and PHP 5 on my laptop for a project.
However, when I install the main CMS system (Typo3 4.0) I keep getting
various

supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource

So I did a test page to see that PHP was actually emerged with the correct
USE flags

'--with-mysql=/usr/lib/mysql'
'--with-mysql-sock=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'

And did a check that I have the socket in the correct place

martoni@SuicidalPuppy ~ $ ls -l /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
'srwxrwxrwx  1 mysql mysql 0 Jan  3 05:35 /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
martoni@SuicidalPuppy ~ $

I've tried with PHP4 and PHP5, with MySQL 4.x and 5.x

I still can't get the system up. And the code is valid, as others are
running the beta code, and I had a Typo3 system
before my forced reinstallation.

I've read contless articles on Gentoo and Typo3 forums/lists but still...

Any suggestions how to get past this?
