Hello, I'm trying to change the location where mysql.sock is written on server startup from /tmp to another location. I've discovered that, on machine (solaris 8; mysql v.3.22.32) reboot, that the /tmp directory changes it's permissions to 755 (owned by root). Since safe_mysqld runs as mysql user, I need to change /tmp to 777 and manually launch safe_mysqld. The sysadmins don't want to mess with the default /tmp permissions; since I don't want to be paged in the middle of the night if the box goes down, I want to have mysql.sock go somewhere else. I changed the $MYSQL_UNIX_PORT location in safe_mysqld from /tmp/mysql.sock to the new location. When I fire up the safe_mysqld script, the mysql server log file shows that mysqld started OK and is ready for connections. The web server gives internal configuration error messages; the web server log isn't any help -- it just gives 'premature termination of script headers' message by the script that I called. I looked at the permissions for mysql.sock at each location. Both were rwxrwxrwx 1 mysql other 0 May 9 12:56 /tmp/mysql.sock. As I don't know what to do next, I'd appreciate any advice about this... Thanks, Brian
