Thank you Ian,
I used the link method {the least change}
{ It turned that the mysql.sock was in /tmp , I missed it because I
tried to find it with the "locate" command }
Create a symbolic link from the mysql.sock to the place where php
expects to find it:
ln -s /current/location/mysql.sock /new/location/mysql.sock
AND THEN I run in a little snag :
Warning: mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication protocol
requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in ...
I SOLVED it thanks to google, with :
mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = OLD_PASSWORD('the_password') WHERE
User='the_user';
regards to all,
this list is great, mysql too.

Hello,
I use Debian Linux, and I could install (with apt-get install) fine
the Mysql-4.1+apache+php4.
I tried fine Mysql 5. on the same debian machine.
Now I want to use mysql 5. through web/php4
Then I run into problem, like :
Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through
socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) in
/var/www/test/t1.php on line 9
Warning: mysql_select_db(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link
resource in /var/www/test/t1.php on line 10
from script.php : connexion a la base refuse
the tool "my_print_defaults" doesn't help.
any hint?
Hi,
First of all, is the mysql server running? If not then the mysql.sock socket
file will not be
created.
If it is, then its probably in a different location to the one that php expects
to find it. In
which case you have several choices:
Change 'mysql.default_socket =' in php.ini to point at the real location of
mysql.sock
(check with the php.net site to make sure that this option has not changed in
the version
you have).
Change the location that mysql puts the socket file in my.ini (see the manual on
dev.mysql.com for the exact syntax).
Create a symbolic link from the mysql.sock to the place where php
expects to find it:
ln -s /current/location/mysql.sock /new/location/mysql.sock
I consider the latter the best option as it wont break anything else that
depends on the
socket.
Regards
Ian
