Hi........ I still have problems conecting to the database through the mysql.sock when installing Koha. The error ponits to a rare location where the socket should be: /varl/lib/mysql/mysql.sock before today, that socket wasn't in the disk, but after trying other thnigs it apperar in its default location wich is: /tmp/mysql.sock My question is: why the koha installation claim to the socket in that dir (var/lib/mysql.sock)? It suppose that the socket must be in /TMP dir, and the distro installation lets the file in there by defualt. So what can I do to get koha installed?. I have both services (of course) running (Apache and the MySQL server) and I have all the permissions. Should I change the location of the socket? but it can't be copied to another dir, I have pointed the socket in my.cnf to the other location but I couldn't even shutdown the mysql server. Ok that's all hope U can help me and give me some pointers Cheers J0se

Hi Jose It wont be Koha looking for the socket there, its something to do with you mysql installation that is causing it to look there. Id check your my.cnf file In debian this lives at /etc/mysql/my.cnf In it there will be a line like socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock Check what that is set to. And make sure in the [client] In the cnf file its the same value I hope this helps Chris -- Chris Cormack Programmer 027 4500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris@katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz
