Make sure apache can read /var/ilbmysql/mysql.sock. I'm a little surprised to see it put the socket there, since (on Gentoo) /var/lib/mysql is only accessible by the user the mysql server runs as, so it puts the socket (which needs to be world-readable and writable) in /var/run. When you run manage.py runserver, are you running as root? -- The Pythonic Principle: Python works the way it does because if it didn't, it wouldn't be Python. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
