Hi, Please help, I getting a report on my php page "Lost connection to MySQL server during query" I feel its the socket connection, but I'm unsure where to make the alteration: PHpinfo reports MySqll data as: Mysql_Socket = /tmp/mysql.sock --- this is not what is in my.cnf or as compiled Mysql.default_socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock - which is correct ! the questions are, 1. is the wrong socket causing the lost connection and 2 where do I change it, as I compiled PHP with the correct socket specified any help gratefully received............. ./configure' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/' '--with-mysql-sock=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' '--prefix=/usr/local/php-4.4.2' '--with-config-file-path=/etc/init.d' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect' '--disable-cgi' '--with-zlib' '--with-gettext' '--enable-sockets'

Hi, I hope you can help, I've been struggling for some time now, the problem is, PHP reports it can't connect to the mysql database viia /tmp/mysql. However the socket for the database is /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock. Mysql report this as correct, the my.cnf file has the correct socket, but the php is apparently trying to connect via the default socket? can anyone point me in the right direction, is it a global setting that is overriding? the system is Deebian, MySql 5, PHP4, Apache 2 Thanks
