ln the best option?
Authored by: JayBee on Jan 13, '06 06:59:12AM

I'm always wary about making changes to the filesystem to accommodate changes in system settings like this. I discussed my solution on my blog, but the essence is to update php.ini to look for the right socket.

Basically, Apple changed the way php is compiled to make it look for the socket in /var/mysql - presumably they've made a similar change to their mysql installation in 10.4 Server? That's not the way my MySQL installation is set up, so to my mind the correct solutions are to (a) reinstall MySQL and make it use the right socket, or (b) update php.ini. I chose the latter.

I followed the instructions in your blog because I couldn't get any other solution here or linked to, to work.

So MANY thanks.
