[SOLVED] changing default mysql socket for php


jm

Recommended Posts

I just compiled php 5.2.3 and it's trying to connect to mysql with socket /tmp/mysql.sock

But the actual socket is /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock (as set in my.cnf) . So my php apps (including phpmyadmin) can't find the socket

I can temporarily fix this by putting a symlink in /tmp ... "ln –s /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock /tmp/mysql.sock" ... everything works until I reboot, then the symlink is deleted - because it's in the temporary directory.

 

I think what I need to do is change the default socket php uses to /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock.

I tried changing the setting in php.ini (both CLI and Apache2) to: mysql.default.socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

But that didn't change anything. Phpinfo still showed: MYSQL_SOCKET = /tmp/mysql.sock

 

Does anybody know what I'm missing. Help really appreciated.

My environment:

Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy)

php 5.2.3 (compiled myself: config options: --with-apxs2 --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl

--with-curl –-with-mysql –enable-sockets –enable-soap)

mysql 5.0.45

Hi. Thanks for the reply. Sorry, that was my typo: I'm using mysql.default_socket in php.ini. I've also restarted (and rebooted) several times.

This is becoming a real pain, because my symlink gets deleted from the tmp directory not just at reboot, but when there's been no activity on mysql for a while.

Solved it!

My php.ini file wasn't even being loaded, so the mysql.default_socket wasn't being set to where I wanted.

I set the PHPRC environment variable to PHPRC=/etc/php5/apache2 .... and everything now works. (I'm on Ubuntu, so did this in /etc/init.d/apache2).
