Yesterday I finally updated my MOSX Server 10.4.6 to 10.4.7. In addition to usual list of hosed configuration files and scripts, we now have a problem with Zope 2.7.x connecting to MySQL through a unix socket. We can connect with PHP apps, Filemaker Pro, and MySQL client. However, all Z MySQL database connections are broken. Here is the error: OperationalError: (2002, "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)") After googling and reading this article http://www.devshed.com/c/a/MySQL/Troubleshooting-Problems-with-MySQL-Program... I think the problem is that the socket file is supposed to be at /tmp/mysql.sock but it's not there. How does it get there? Can I copy it one from another (working) server and put it in that folder? It isn't present on my backup drive (which was supposed to be a complete bootable backup of the drive before the upgrade), so I don't know how we ever used the unix socket file - but we did! Thanks in advance! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
