Rails - Aug 2006 - how to change rails mysql socket PATH from /var/run to /var/lib?

i have an app im installing that tries look for mysqld.sock in
/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock and mysql puts it at  /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock.
if i point mysql at /var/run the app works i.e mysqld
-socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock; if i don''t i get an error that
goes "
Showing app/views/articles/index.rhtml where line #35 raised:

No such file or directory - /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock". like i said i can
get around this "manually" but i''d rather have them looking
in the same
place by default. so, anyone know where i change that?

In your database.yml file you can add something like this:

socket: <%= ["/tmp/mysqld.sock",
  "/tmp/mysql.sock",
  "/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock",
  "/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock"].detect{|socket|
  File.exist?(socket)
} %>
