If you're using XAMPP, I don't think it's a php/mysql config problem.
that is precisely the problem these *AMP stacks are designed to
avoid. However, you might want to try the following. Incidentally,
that should be "Applications" PLURAL in your path.
Open a terminal, and type:
ps -af | grep mysql.sock [enter]
The result on my machine is:
sh-3.2# ps -ef | grep mysql.sock
74 2405 2379 0 0:15.88 ?? 1:57.74 /usr/
local/mysql/bin/mysqld --basedir=/usr/local/mysql --datadir=/usr/local/
mysql/data --user=mysql --pid- file=/usr/local/mysql/data/
Leopard.local.pid --port=3306 --socket=/tmp/mysql.sock
0 4814 4805 0 0:00.01 ttys000 0:00.01 grep mysql.sock
sh-3.2#
see the last bit? port=3306 socket=/tmp/mysql.sock
that path (/tmp/mysql.sock) is the path to MY socket (and the port is
the port!) yours will be different because mine is not an *AMP stack.
Now, in your htdocs directory create phpinfo.php with <?php phpinfo() ?
> as the sole content. Make sure there is no new line after the ?>
View the file in Safari and halfway down the first screen is the path
to the loaded configuration file. This is the one you need to edit to
configure php. Continue down the page - you'll need to scroll about
halfway down and see if there is a mysql section. If there is, I don't
think you have a problem with php.ini. If there isn't, mysql isn't
talking to PHP and you'll need to find and edit the appropriate part
of the ini file.
If I remember correctly, XAMPP already has a phpinfo link.
I don't pretend that this is a solution, but if you post the results
here, at least we'll have something to work with.
Good luck.
