Hi I need to know how and where to tell mysql to look for mysql.sock.
I am using mysql version 3.23.55 and SUSE Linux 8.2. My problem is that i have a mysql daemon working very well and using /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock as the correct socket. No problems. My problems come when I try and install the perl msql-mysql modules. It asks for my mysql directory, which is /usr/local/mysql/. I can only assume that it then tries to execute /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql, and guess what? For some reason it tries to connect through the default /tmp/mysql.sock, which doesn't exist and everything fails. SO whats going on? Why, when i execute /usr/bin/mysql does mysql look to /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock and when I execute /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql, does it look to /tmp/mysql.sock? How can I set BOTH to look at /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock? I tried mysql_config --socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock, but all that does is repeat the usage message for mysql_config. Help me, I am confused! Thanks Mick -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
