This are the entries I've made in the php.ini [MySQL] ; Allow or prevent persistent links. mysql.allow_persistent = On ; Maximum number of persistent links. -1 means no limit. mysql.max_persistent = -1 ; Maximum number of links (persistent + non-persistent). -1 means no limit. mysql.max_links = -1 ; Default port number for mysql_connect(). If unset, mysql_connect() will use ; the $MYSQL_TCP_PORT or the mysql-tcp entry in /etc/services or the ; compile-time value defined MYSQL_PORT (in that order). Win32 will only look ; at MYSQL_PORT. mysql.default_port = ; Default socket name for local MySQL connects. If empty, uses the built-in ; MySQL defaults. mysql.default_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock ; Default host for mysql_connect() (doesn't apply in safe mode). mysql.default_host = localhost ; Default user for mysql_connect() (doesn't apply in safe mode). mysql.default_user = root And this is my actual /tmp-directorylinux:/tmp # ls . .esd AcroSaTWYY aaa ksocket-root migrate-2 noteedit.2vmq44 .. .shtool.8404 AcroWx7cEx alsaplayer_root_0 mc-root migrate-3 noteedit.rvtxIc .ICE-unix .webmin Acrol21KzJ audacity1.1-root mcop-root migrate-4 orbit-root .X0-lock AcroAgqtL1 AcrooMY5eg gsr-record-Untitled.wav-1603.BHH8QX medusa-idled-service migrate-5 .X11-unix AcroMfep2R Acrowt39f1 jpsock.141.6939 migrate migrate-6 .caitmp AcroQUQtXc Acrox5BdJI kde-root migrate-1 mysql.sock You see there is the mysql.sock And this is the connection-command in some scripts I use.
