Server Help

MySQL 4.0+ doesn't install it's socket in /tmp/mysql.sock for various security reasons. A configure script would help this out a *lot* .

Consequently, for the MySQL module to work, I've had to hack stuff.

Kind regards,

Um, the mysql modules uses mysql_real_connect to connect. The path of the socket is entirely up to libmysqlclient, and asss has nothing to do with it. Autoconf would not help at all with this issue, unless you'd like to make the db server or socket fixed at compile time, which I hope you don't.

hm... use a symbolic link.... from /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock to /tmp/mysql.sock ... this will work without problems..
