Hello Ahmad, hello all, after Installing mysql with vpopmail. Then when I started the mysql daemon.. The I trief to log in to my mysql database and got the message could not find mysql.sock in /tmp.
In the mysql-configuration file /etc/my.cnf (in my redhat system) I changed the place for the socket file from "socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock" to "socket=/tmp/mysql.sock". That doesn�t work. What can I do? Perhaps put a link ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock in /tmp???? Oliver hmm have u changed /etc/service mysql 3333 it can be handy ... me is kinda busy let me find where you can put port in vmyslq.h or you will have to change some code in this file...give me time I will do for u... -- Best Regs, Masood Ahmad Shah System Administrator ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * | Fibre Net (Pvt) Ltd.

Hi Ahmad, thanks for your reply, but what if I want to define different port number or sock file? It is not working if I define like #define MYSQL_UPDATE_SERVER "localhost:3333" #define MYSQL_READ_SERVER "localhost:3333" OR #define MYSQL_UPDATE_SERVER "/usr/local/mysq/mysql.sock" #define MYSQL_READ_SERVER "/usr/local/mysql/mysql.sock" Any idea how ? thanks ----- Original Message ----- From: Ahmad Masood Shah To: Kuan Yik ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 11, 2003 2:25 PM Subject: Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail + mysql : Define other mysql host in vmysql.h how-to? simple is that open you command prompt vi vmysql.h you will find 2 lines like shown below... #define MYSQL_UPDATE_SERVER "localhost" #define MYSQL_READ_SERVER "localhost" and blah balh -- Best Regs, Masood Ahmad Shah System Administrator ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * | Fibre Net (Pvt) Ltd.
