Hi.
'localhost' is a special name for MySQL, which implies to connect via
mysql.sock. You don't need to recompile, just give the host name (like
test.earthlink.net or whatever it is) or IP address of your PC and
MySQL will use TCP sockets.
Bye,
Benjamin.
PS: I don't really know whethe
How is it possible to compile mysql sources without the server and without socket
support? I am trying to connect a cygwin mysql client to a win32 mysql server on the
same PC, but the perl mysql mod test keeps looking for mysql.sock.
So I am thinking if I remove the socket client in the sources
