Comments on: PHP & MySQL on Leopard: mysql.sock Location http://www.beyondmac.com/2007/10/30/php-mysql-on-leopard-mysqlsock-location/ comments, answers, etc. Thu, 20 Nov 2008 20:48:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: jaffle http://www.beyondmac.com/2007/10/30/php-mysql-on-leopard-mysqlsock-location/#comment-1288 jaffle Fri, 24 Oct 2008 09:50:55 +0000 http://www.beyondmac.com/2007/10/30/php-mysql-on-leopard-mysqlsock-location/#comment-1288 I think the following is an even easier REAL way than #2: Add the following line php_value mysql.default_socket /tmp/mysql.sock to the /private/etc/apache2/other/php5.conf file (in between the tags of course), then restart web sharing. In most instances php.ini does not exist, and #2 makes you create that file, which is a security risk in some installations. This does not add that risk. I think the following is an even easier REAL way than #2:

Add the following line

php_value mysql.default_socket /tmp/mysql.sock

to the

/private/etc/apache2/other/php5.conf

file (in between the tags of course), then restart web sharing. In most instances php.ini does not exist, and #2 makes you create that file, which is a security risk in some installations. This does not add that risk.

While the OS X MySQL installation package (mysql.com) defaults to placing it at /tmp/mysql.sock. A solution that corrects the problem is to edit the /etc/php.ini file and change mysql.default_socket = to mysql.default_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock and for completeness also change mysqli.default_socket = to mysqli.default_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock On Leopard (OS X 10.5), PHP defaults to look for the socket at /var/mysql/mysql.sock.

After hours of configuring mysql under Leopard with no success, your solution took me 5 minutes and it works with phpmyadmin ! Thank you very much ! I accomplished all the steps explained from #1 to #3. I would like to add, that to make it easier to find the hidden files "php.ini" and hidden directories, i used the software ONYX and i asked it to make hidden files and directories visible. Regards.

You give not one but four solutions. Thanks. Leopard should have Mysql pre-installed just like PHP. This solved a headache I had for 2 days. You give not one but four solutions. Thanks.
