Hi list,
I am experiencing some trouble using mysql driver from SoftInnov
(http://softinnov.org/rebol/mysql.shtml)
Here is what I get when try to connect my REBOL script to the MySQL
host at localhost (127.0.0.1):
** Access Error: Cannot connect to localhost ** Where: open-proto **
Near: db: open mysql://root:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/test insert db
I had the same trouble with PHP scripts but I have solved it based on
the following information extract from www.php.net:

mysql_connect

---------------------------------------------------------------
Debian (and "flavors" of Debain such as Ubuntu Linux) installations of
mysqld place the socket file on a directory OTHER than /tmp/mysql.sock
causing php connection problems. A quick workaround, as described in
the docs above, is to specify ":/path/to/socket in the server
parameter in db_connect. Here is an example where mysql socket is
located at /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock:
function open_connection() {
$host = "localhost:/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock";
$user = "root";
$passwd = NULL;
$db_name = "ipd";
return db_connect($host, $user, $password, $db_name);
}
--------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to have some advice on how to fix this inside MySQL
scheme from SoftInnov
Thanks
