Error 111 message

[Rasika Amarasiri]

I have been using MySQL on a web-cgi search facility. I was using RedHat 6.1
and MySQL 3.22. Recently I upgraded my machine to RedHat 7.0 (bug fixed
version) and it had MySQL 3.23. I was using perl DBI via msql-mysql modules
to access the database. I can access the tables via the perl scripts
directly but I get an error 111 cannot connect to database error when the
same scripts are run via the web server. I checked the access rights for the
web server and still the problem is the same.

I couldn;t find any reference to the error codes on the MySQL web server or
the online documentation.

I am using apache as my web server.
