Re: MYSQL_SOCKET

yes i'm actually getting the MYSQL_SOCKET variable and it's looking for the mysql.sock file in /tmp however it's placed in the /var/lib/mysql directory and I don't know how to change this. I've looked in the php.ini but didn't see anything about it. I've also looked for the my.cnf file and it's not on the machine.
