path to mysql.sock needs changing

Postby alex905 » 29. September 2005 13:13

i hjave inatlled your serveer and have run into another problem which is when i try to run a script called xpanel in cgi i is given the wrong path to mysql.sock it says

cant connect to local mysql server through socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

i know that the actual mysql.scock is in the lampp directory, i have searched through all the config files but i coulden find were it asked to specify that so im guessing its built into the system.

i had ago at installing mysql but failed so that could be the prob because i didnet know how o uninstall it.

so what i want to know is how to set the path to mysql.sock or if neede uninstall the half installed version of mysql

You are using the Perl from XAMPP or the Perl from your system for cgi?

your perlscripts have in the first line the way to perl...

for XAMPP
#!/opt/lampp/bin/perl

for System
#!/usr/sbin/perl

Q. I just installed Jabberd 2 stable 3. Why do I get errors stating that the database connection to MySQL failed?
A. Jabberd 2 stable 3 connects to the MySQL server socket at /tmp/mysql.sock. The default socket when installing MySQL from source is /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. You will need to create a symlink to /tmp/mysql.sock if it does not exist:

ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock
