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!
You need to configure the MySQL server to listen on that socket: that will cause the "file" to be created, and Zope will then be able to connect. Note that this requires tha MySQL run on the same host as Zope.
