Changing the socket location?
I was wondering is there anyway to change the socket location from /tmp/mysql.sock to something else, other than recompiling :-)? If there is not I would like to highly recommend it as an option.

Re: Changing the socket location?
You can specify the location when you start up the server --socket=/path/to/mysql.sock or enter it in your my.cnf file: socket = /path/to/mysql.sock in the [mysqld] group On Sat, 17 Nov 2001 21:34:24 -0600, Stephen P Toothman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was wondering is there anyway to change the socket location from /tmp/mysql.sock to something else, other than recompiling :-)?

If there is not I would like to highly recommend it as an option. Change it in the config file (my.cnf). It's right there. Just be sure to have all your clients properly configured too. And _please_ check your computer's date setting. Unless your mail was delayed by almost 2 weeks, it's off by that much. Some people like to sort their mail by date, and when the date is off by that much the mail ends up hundreds or even thousands of positions wrong in the list. //C - about to change to pine.
