From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; T312461; Q312461) Description of problem: I updated from php-mysql 4.0.6-7 to 4.0.6-12 from the up2date command. After that I could not connect to the mysql database from my web site using php. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.I forced the re-install of php & php-mysql 4.0.6-7. 2. 3. Actual Results: Now it works! Expected Results: Now it works Additional info: I think Red Hat should check out it's updates to see if they work, before they tell us to install them.
My experience: if you look to PHP info page, there you find: MYSQL_SOCKET /tmp/mysql.sock but in /etc/my.cnf is: socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock and in /etc/php.ini is default setting: mysql.default_socket = My "non correct" solution (because changing of mysql.default_socket in php.ini doesn't have efect): If you make a link: ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock connection to MySQL will established.
