Hi, I installed a fresh copie of MySQL 4.0.21 on Solaris 8 (Sparc). I did put the following in the my.cnf file:
================================== [mysqld] User=mysql Port=3306 Socket=/usr/local/mysql/mysql.sock log [client] socket=/usr/local/mysql/mysql.sock ================================== When I start MySQL, it does create the socket in /usr/local/mysql/. When I (or PHP, or Perl) ask mysql_config about the socket, it returns "/tmp/mysql.sock"... nrn6# ls -l /usr/local/mysql/mysql.sock srwxrwxrwx 1 mysql mysql 0 Oct 21 09:30 /usr/local/mysql/mysql.sock nrn6# ls -l /tmp/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock: No such file or directory nrn6# /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config --socket /tmp/mysql.sock Any idea? - Christian Caron -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
