If this has been covered somewhere already, I apologize, but I haven't been able to find it. I'm having two related problems. The most specific one is that I installed mysql on my RedHat 7.1 box with the rpm on the cd (version 3.23.36), after installing and uninstalling a tarball version and the latest RPM version, both from the mysql website, and neither of which I could make work. Now mysql looks for the socket in /tmp/mysql.sock, and though I can redirect it with #mysql --socket=/var/lib/mysql/, but is there a way I can permanently redirect it?

I don't know if this is the same problem, but I've installed apache and mod_auth_mysql (and mod_ssl, etc) from tarball. Apache is working fine, and the normal .htaccess files work, but when I change the htaccess files to contain mod_auth_mysql info, I get the message Internal Server Error. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks,
Campbell

    Please somebody respond!!!!
    I am having the same problem with the mod_auth_mysql and the message "Internal Server Error". I've triple checked the config files and they correct according to the documentation.

    no messages in the error logs!!!

      This frustrated me to no end. Lots of google and groups.google responses of people having this problem, but no solution. Arg!

      However, I found a solution for me. I added

      Satisfy Any

      as a line in the .htaccess file, and voila, it worked.

      This is for using mod_auth_mysql 2.20, and getting an internal server error 500 after supplying the correct username and password.
