Hi Scott, Change socket = <path> in the [client] section of your my.cnf as well.
Regards Gavin Towey -----Original Message----- From: Scott Wagner [mailto:gildedp...@comcast.net] Sent: Monday, October 05, 2009 3:21 PM To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: mysql.socket location problem Hi I just did a new installation of Suse 11.2 and found that I couldn't connect to mysql from a php script because mysql.sock was in /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock rather than /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. I changed all the lines in /etc/my.cnf for the socket to /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. Now my php scripts connect but I can't connect to mysql from the command line. I get the error can't connect through socket /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock. What do I have to change to make the konsole use /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock?
