Hi,

OS-X stores this in /Private/tmp/mysql.sock - the configure script just needs to search that dir too. Any php script comes up with "can't find /tmp/mysql.sock" (unsurprisingly).

I recompiled and reinstalled with that added in and it works fine now.

Thanks,

John

Fixed in CVS. Will be in 4.2.0.

Why not in 4.1.0?
You can consider this a bug: PHP doesn't work well without this fix. Although it's not a bug in PHP, it is a bug in the configure-script, which is a part of the PHP-distro.

Hi,

I agree - OS-X users can't use it otherwise as there's no means of manually setting that directory within configure that I could see. I'd think it would save you a whole load of hassle to offload that sort of simple change as early as possible.

Regards,

John
