I want to configure my mysql socket in php to /tmp/mysql.sock, i have tried editing it in the php.ini file but i still get the same error. i am using php 4.4.1 on mac os x 1.4.5.0 if it matters. At the moment i cant post much info about it, but i will as soon as i get home from school. thanks.

Hey, here is the error that i get whenever i try to call my mysql database in php:

[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /Library/WebServer/Documents/News/main.php on line 4[/quote]

the path to my mysql socket is /tmp/mysql.sock not /var/mysql/mysql.sock, i have configured php.ini to say mysql.default_socket = "/tmp/mysql.sock", but it is still trying to use the socket in '/var/mysql/mysql.sock', which doesnt exist.

Did you restart apache after updating php.ini?
not only did i restart apache, i restared the computer it was running on. why i want to edit a variable in php.ini, should i change it to:

[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]mysql.default_socket = "/tmp/mysql.sock"[/quote]

or

[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]mysql.default_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock[/quote]
