I think we have enough options in "sql.conf" for normal use. More options will confuse the users, or confuse the people who are using a database server different from MySQL. -- Nicolas Baradakis - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

And how many sql options are appropriate? It's only those needed for a client connection and other than socket file location they are already all present as options in the sql.conf file. It seems counter to good practice (ie keep it simple) to make things more complicated than simply adding an option to the file you already use to configure the sql connection and options.

RE: mysql.sock moved and cannot be found by freeradius !
I think this is the most simple solution. Making symlinks to the usual location might be confusing for other applications or users themselves. Is there any performance difference between using .sock and tcp connection to localhost?

Re: mysql.sock moved and cannot be found by freeradius !
or as I said create a symlink at the old location (where freeradius looks for it) which points to the socket at the new location (where it is now)... I suppose that'd be the easiest way cheers Sebastian Jason Clifford wrote: On Mon, 7 Nov 2005, Alan DeKok wrote: Nicolas Baradakis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Question for Alan: it seems easy to pass an option to the libmysqlclient to make it read a section called "radiusd" in "my.cnf".

How is this done anyway? I think FreeRADIUS doesn't read the file "my.cnf". To be more accurate, it doesn't tell the libmysqlclient to read the file.

Re: mysql.sock moved and cannot be found by freeradius !
I've had similar problems with MySQL before (not in relation to FreeRadius, but the same socket problem) and the easiest way for me to fix it was to change the hostname where the application thinks MySQL exists from localhost to the actual hostname of the machine. This bypasses the use of the mysql.sock UNIX socket and just uses the TCP socket that MySQL opens on its standard port. I'm not sure if you have mysqld's TCP port disabled, in which case this wouldn't work, but if not hopefully this will fix the problem without having to recompile MySQL.

Re: mysql.sock moved and cannot be found by freeradius !
Symbolic linking your socket to the usual location /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock might help you. Do ln -s /data/mysql/mysql.sock /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock to do this. Freeradius should then be able to connect to mysql again. I suppose that ain't hardcoded in freeradius but it might me hardcoded in libmysqlclient which is used by any app that needs to connect to mysqld... greets Sebastian Seferovic Edvin wrote: Hi, and a big HLP ( or should I say – save our/my soul ) I’ve moved my mysql database to another partition ( databases were getting big ) and Ive corrected my mysql config so that the socket file is now located at /data/mysql/mysql.sock.
