Description R P Herrold 2002-03-05 20:18:49 UTC

RH 7.2 after 2/2002 updates

[root@landlocked etc]# rpm -qf my.cnf
mysql-3.23.41-1

which includes the definition of the socket location:

[root@landlocked etc]# cat my.cnf
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

[mysql.server]
user=mysql
basedir=/var/lib

[safe_mysqld]
err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

----------

fails with a restart of apache ( apache-1.3.22-2 ) and php ( php-4.0.6-12 ) -- [had a overflow exploit
 ]
-----------

Proposed action -- test for, and as needed add, in the post-isntall script for mysql:

   ln -s var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock  /tmp

(possibly consider adding to the apache and php packages as well)

and restart mysqld, and apache

mysql seems to be the proper package for this fix, because its conf file references /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

Comment 1 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2002-03-05 22:28:31 UTC

Bug in PHP - a triggerhappy autconf script decides to hardcode the location to
/tmp. This is new. Reassigning so the PHP owner can mark it as a dupe :)

Comment 2 R P Herrold 2002-03-06 06:50:15 UTC

Is this wise to move this here?  I had consciously placed it at mysql, for the
my.cnf pointer to this file would be a normal diagnostic router for a puzzled
sysadmin to check owning packagefor.

That sysadmin would then (hopefully) query the owning package (mysql) and find
(even if closed WONT) the answer which they needed.

I have no problem with a WONT and leaving this at mysql -- I _do_ have a problem
with it getting lost in the clutter at php as a DUPE -- 

Since you have transferred it with an intention that it be closed as DUPE, this
implicitly says that you WONT as to the suggested fix.

I'll re-position and close WONT

Tsk tsk,...
check before you leap...

Comment 4 Phil Copeland 2002-03-06 07:03:24 UTC

Note that the problem lies in php's configure check.
