ID: 12415 Updated by: cynic Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old Status: Open Status: Feedback Bug Type: MySQL related Operating System: Linux Mandrake 8.0 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: are you sure PHP actually reads that php.ini? you can see the location where PHP looks for the file in the output of phpinfo(). as with all changes in php.ini, you have to restart apache for this to become effective. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-27 02:52:41] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have tried to change MySQL's socket path to something else than the default. I found that there's a mysql.default_socket in /etc/php.ini. I changed it to point to the socket file, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. PHP produces error message saying that it cannot find mysql.sock, and the path points still to the default location. phpinfo() shows also the default location. There's a workaround: symbolic link to real socket file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=12415&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
