Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-10-16 20:37:42] spam02 at pornel dot net Sorry, I've given wrong bug # in my report. The orignal issue was that PDO fails with: "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '' (2)" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-10-16 20:31:26] spam02 at pornel dot net Description: ------------ I've ran onto problem described in bug #34988 I aknowledge that there is workaround by setting appropriate socket in DSN, however the root cause is that PHP defaults to socket='', which certainly won't work. If proper socket can't be found, it would be wiser to fall back to built-in default or fail configure script and require user to supply socket via something like --with-pdo-mysql-socket. Requirement to use unix_socket in DSN ties code with machine-dependent configuration and AFAIK it's not possible to find that PDO has empty string for default socket without connection attempt - that makes it imperfect workaround. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39171&edit=1
