1. Does simple mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "password") work?
2. Are you sure you have mysqld up and running?
3. Can you connect to mysql using the mysql shell utility from command line?

No, it doesn't work.

>2. Are you sure you have mysqld up and running?
Yes, I am

>3. Can you connect to mysql using the mysql shell utility from command 
>line?

No, I can't.
I can connect only when log on as root.
When I log on with my user I can't connect and get the same error.

Could you please give any idea to resolve it?

----

Obviously you haven't configured mysql correctly. 
Please refer to http://www.mysql.com/ for further information
on how to configure mysql. Or ask on php-db@lists.php.net
