None that I am aware of. Some systems have differed locations. However, some programs expect the file mysql.sock to be in the /tmp dir.
I don't know if it's good form or style, but on systems where the sock is located in some out of the way place I just link it with ln -s /path/to/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock and things seem to work fine. ~K Black -----Original Message----- From: Adolfo Bello [mailto:adolfobello@;bisapi.com] Sent: Monday, November 11, 2002 1:32 PM To: Black, Kelly W [PCS] Cc: Mysql Lists Subject: RE: /tmp/mysql.sock question (newbie) I am also a newbie so don't misunderstand my question. Is there any performance or functionality reason to change mysql.sock location?
