Trouble with mysql.sock

[psychomantum]

Hi.

My company is using a webhost that runs the Chilisoft (Sun) ASP. We still use phpMyAdmin to manage our databases though.

I convinced them to let me setup a test server, using Fedora Core 2. I installed Apache 2, PHP, MySQL, then Sun's ASP.

We had to change the location of mysql.sock to /tmp/mysql.sock in order to get the ASP to work, but now PHP cannot connect to the database. I've checked the config files, and can't find anywhere to specify the new location to PHP. When we move it back to /var/lib/mysql, PHP works fine but it breaks the ASP.

Does anyone know what to do?

Thanks

Hi,

add the following to php.ini:

mysql.default_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock

and restart the web server.
