#43088: mysql5 @5.1.72 uses /tmp for socket --------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: ctreleaven@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Keywords: | Port: mysql5 --------------------------+-------------------------------- Hi guys: I wanted to add a local mysql5-server but could not make a connection to it. What I've found is that it is ignoring the configure directive ('--with-unix-socket-path=/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock ') and looking for the socket in tmp: {{{ CT-MBP11:~ craigtreleaven$ mysql5 --help |grep ^socket socket /tmp/mysql.sock }}} I've rebuilt msyql5 (twice) with no change. I'll attach the debug build output from the most recent attempt. Is it possibly a permissions issue? I've had mysql5 installed on this machine since @5.1.61_0 although it has always been used to access a remote server. Permissions on /opt/local/var/run/mysql5 are 0755. It was only a few days ago that I installed mysql5-server and experienced this issue. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43088> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
