This is hopefully a simple problem.
I have just upgraded my server from RH 6.2 to RH 7.0 and have upgraded the
MySql as well. Having sorted out the missing Perl modules I have finally
arrived at the point where the following error is returned by Perl to the
browser:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) at
/var/www/cgi-perl/lannet_login.pl line 30.
When I try to run the same script on the server as:
perl -d /var/www/cgi-perl/lannet_login.pl
It runs OK and completes, so the problem looks to be between Apache and
MySQL.
The socket does exist, is 777 and is UID=mysql. Apache is running as
UID=apache and in the perl script the MySQL user is LANNet.
Where should I be starting to look for the problem. I am even flicked as
to what documentation I should be looking at.
