I'm not sure what your particular problem is, but I went to google and searched for "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket " and found lots of info. Forgive me for questioning the obvious, but are you sure MySQL is running?
Hardy Merrill >>> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 04/29/04 09:57AM >>> Hi, i have a problem using MySQL (4.0.18) (together) with the current Bugzilla release. I think, that during installation of modules some configuration went wrong resulting in the error i now have to deal with: Output of Bugzillas checksetup.pl: ... Precompiling templates ... DBI connect(';localhost;3306','bugs',...) failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) at ./checksetup.pl line 1189 [Thu Apr 29 15:39:47 2004] checksetup.pl: DBI connect(';localhost;3306','bugs',...) failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) at ./checksetup.pl line 1189 <h1>Software error:</h1> ... In fact the MySQL installation i use is in /usr/local with the databases in /usr/local/data. The file mysql.sock is also in /usr/local/data. What do i have to do, to get it running.
