Last night I compiled and installed PHP4.1.2 with MySQL support (compiled
in Apache 1.3.24). During the configure routine, it indicated that MySQL's
socket was found as /tmp/mysql.sock - which is correct. However, upon looking
at phpinfo() after everything was installed, PHP indicated that the socket file
was /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock and consequently started complaining that it
can't connect to MySQL through that socket. For the first time in years, I had
to manually set the socket information in my php.ini file so that it would
work.
My question is, why the discrepancy? How come PHP's configure command says
the socket is /tmp/mysql.sock, yet when it's actually running, phpinfo() says
something completely different?
I realize that it's a small problem, which is fixed by setting the value in
php.ini, still. Something doesn't jive right.
