Greetings
I am trying to install DBD::mysql on a quad dual-core Xeon system running RedHat Enterprise v4. I just
installed mysql 5.0.21 from source and it passes all the self tests. I have installed DBI-1.5 and it passes
all the tests. I can compile DBD::mysql (v 3.0002) but the test fails:
t/mysql2.............Mysql connect('database=test;host=','',...) failed: Can't connect to local
MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) at t/mysql2.t line 29
This is a puzzler, because the output from mysql_config is:
[root <at> HSV-PROBE DBD-mysql-3.0002]# mysql_config
Usage: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config [OPTIONS]
Options:
--cflags [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql]
--include [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql]
--libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm]
--libs_r [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r -lz -lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread]
--socket [/tmp/mysql.sock]
--port [3306]
--version [5.0.21]
--libmysqld-libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqld -lz -lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread -lrt]
/etc/my.cnf also points to /tmp/mysql.sock.
I tried hardwiring the socket in the make with perl Makefile.PL --testsocket=/tmp/mysql.sock and the
tests _still_ try to use /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock.
Does anybody have any ideas why DBD::mysql is so fixated on the wrong socket path?
