Hi all,

Just updated to MySQL 4.1.12, PHP 5.0.4, Apache 2 and had some problems with connecting to MySQL from XOOPS and phpMyAdmin.

I have been trawling the web for answers and wondered if any other XOOPS users on OS X 10.4.4 had encountered this;
after years of use XOOPS can't connect to the database.

I can use MySQL on the command line, so that is working, it's the connection/socket thang. phpMyAdmin gave this error:

Quote:
#2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)


This I have finally fixed by specifying an path to the mysql.sock socket in the MyAdmin config file:

Quote:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = '/tmp/mysql.sock';


I feel that if I could specify a similar socket in XOOPS that I could get the connection to work. Any ideas?

My live sites are all working fine, and I've moved them around loads in the past, but this one has me stumped. I think that it is a OS X specific problem.

I am using a heavily adapted version built on XOOPS 2.0.6

All help and commiserations welcome, but no OS X jokes...

Best,

Kingpig
