RE: [PHP-DB] PHP Confused: Using wrong Unix Socket
Thank you. I missed that setting obviously. The variable name is mysql.default_socket. -Original Message- From: Jason Wong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 08, 2004 11:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] PHP Confused: Using wrong Unix Socket On Friday 09 April 2004 02:38, Noah Davis wrote: How can I get PHP to not get confused about which .sock file to use? php.ini Do I need to recompile PHP?

[PHP-DB] PHP Confused: Using wrong Unix Socket
My PHP installation seems to be confused as to where to find the MySQL socket file. The error I'm getting is: Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) This isn't where the mysql.sock file is. It's at /tmp/mysql.sock. This is possibly related to the fact that our MySQL installation has moved since PHP was initially configured and that PHP is somehow still looking for the old MySQL installation. How can I get PHP to not get confused about which .sock file to use? Do I need to recompile PHP? In my searching around, the closest I've come to an explanation is at the FAQs for PHP: http://de3.php.net/manual/en/faq.databases.php#faq.databases.mysql.php5 which states: Given the above, having multiple versions of the library can get messy. For example, if you link mod_auth_mysql against one version and PHP against another, and then enable both in Apache, you get a nice fat crash. Also, the bundled library didn't always play well with the installed server version. The most obvious symptom of this being disagreement over where to find the mysql.socket Unix domain socket file. But not sure what to do about this. Thanks for any help you can offer! Noah Using: PHP version 4.34. MySQL version 4.1.1 Apache 1.3
