asterisk users - Aug 2005 - mysql sock location

Hi;
In case your * and mysql are running on the same machine, and you get error
"Failed to connect to mysql database server ..." when using  Asterisk
with
Mysql database, check the location of mysql.sock

not /tmp/mysql.sock, but /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

Regards
Kun

The location of your mysql.sock is completly configurable when you first 
install mysql.

./configure --with-sock=/some/path/to/mysql.sock

If you run with the defaults, yea it won't goto /tmp/mysql.sock

Most admins don't use default.
