Hello all,

I have apache php + mysql all working together nicely.
I have just installed phpmyadmin from ports.
I have edited my phpmyadmin files appropriately (i think).
When i try to hit the index page for phpmyadmin i get complaint:

#2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket
is not correctly configured)

Does anybody have any ideas of anything i might be missing?

Thx in advance

Do you have MySQL running? Where did you tell MySQL to put it's socket
(/tmp by default, IIRC)? Where did you tell phpMyAdmin to look (/tmp by
default, I assume)?

Did you forget, perchance, that OpenBSD's httpd is chrooted to /var/www
so you'll have to place a socket under /var/www somewhere?

Thx Joachim,

Ah, of course, forgot about that (doh!) mysql.sock is in /var/run/..

So, i have created a folder /tmp in /var/www, how do i move the socket?
I tried creating a symlink to the socket in /var/run/.., told phpmyadmin
where to look for the socket, and still no joy.

ps mysql is running

See

On a side note, chrooting MySQL may not be a bad idea... just to make
stuff more difficult. ;-)
