[PHP] mysql.lock file location
Hi, Does anyone know how to tell PHP to look in a different location for the mysql.lock file? It's currently looking in /tmp/ and that's wrong. Thanks Donald

RE: [PHP] mysql.lock file location
The MySQL functions only allow me to change the location per function call. I want to change the default mysql.sock file location for PHP, it would seem silly to change every script to do that, especially since this is only a test server and the main server will most likely have the mysql.sock file in another location. -Original Message- From: Jason Wong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2003 8:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] mysql.lock file location On Thursday 25 September 2003 21:17, Donald Tyler wrote: Does anyone know how to tell PHP to look in a different location for the mysql.lock file?

That section of the manual contains a useful little table which shows what MySQL related parameters can be changed and where it can be changed. -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * -- Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general -- /* Facts are the enemy of truth. -- Don Quixote */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] mysql.lock file location
Yeah I do that too. But I was reluctant to do that with something that just seemed like a fix for a problem that shouldnt even exist. If the server with my scripts is configured correctly, then I should never have to specify a .sock file. I hope... -Original Message- From: Jackson Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2003 10:15 AM To: Donald Tyler Subject: Re: [PHP] mysql.lock file location On Thursday 25 September 2003 8:55, you wrote: Is there no way for me to change the default location for PHP? I have quite a few scripts that I really dont want to have to do that to. I would rather reconfigure PHP. You can set default mysql settings in php.ini which allows you to set a socket file. Then you leave the default settings out of mysql_connect all together. I _think_ that you can then connect with mysql_connect(localhost,username,password) and it will use the socket file set in php.ini. If that doesn't work you can try editing the client section of /etc/my.cnf Also, I always set up my apps in a way that the db connection is only in one place and just called from all the scripts that need it. You can do this with an include or using object oriented coding. This way if you ever have to make a system wide change you don't have to go to all the scripts and change it. Hope that helps. -Jackson -Original Message- From: Jackson Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2003 8:24 AM To: Donald Tyler Subject: Re: [PHP] mysql.lock file location On Thursday 25 September 2003 8:17, Donald Tyler wrote: Hi, Does anyone know how to tell PHP to look in a different location for the mysql.lock file?
