Thank you for the link. I understand that I need a mysql.sock file, what I don't understand is that I used to get one when I installed MySQL. When I look through all my 4.0.x mysql directories I see a socket directory that contains a mysql.sock file. With my 4.1 install I do not see this file.
Why do I no longer get a socket/mysql.sock with the install? Thanks again for your time. -Barb. -----Original Message----- From: Gleb Paharenko [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 10, 2005 6:21 PM To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: Re: SOCKET directory Hello. > However, when I try to connect I get the error: Have a look here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/can-not-connect-to-server.html Barbara Deaton wrote: > With MySQL 4.0 when I wanted to run my application on any of the unix > = boxes I had to set the MYSQL_UNIX_PORT environment variable to point > to = the location of my socket file.
