I've had this before, I installed mysql from an ubuntu package and suddenly it put the socket into /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock You can create or edit /etc/my.cnf and tell it where the socket file is created, just remember to add a line for each configuration group (i.e. [client], [mysqld] etc) You can also tell Rails where the socket is in database.yml Andrew Timberlake http://ramblingsonrails.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewtimberlake "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education" - Mark Twain --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
