Re: Re: Bug #16768: mysql_connect("localhost", ...) doesn't connect to localhost! (fwd)

I'm configuring with 'configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-pgsql --with-mysql --with-pdfli b --with-zlib --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-png-dir=/usr --with-ttf --with-imap --with-gettext --enable-cli' The MySQL stuff from my config.log says configure:39658: checking for MySQL support configure:39698: result: yes configure:39922: checking for MySQL UNIX socket configure:39941: result: /tmp/mysql.sock However this is incorrect - the socket is in fact /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock - as per default Slackware 8.0 install. I am also specifying this manually in my php.ini "Edin Kadribasic" <edink@proventum.net> wrote in message news:068b01c1eb70$553cd880$3600000a@intra.proventum.net... > >I don't know whether this is related or not, but I've also found that since > >upgrading to PHP 4.2.0 it is impossible to get mysql_connect() to connect > >via a UNIX socket.
