UDG Connection...

[bwyatt]

Regarding Brandon's Tutorial, it won't work for me :/

I get the following error:

 Error Number: 2005

 Error: Unknown MySQL server host ':/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (3)

Did anyone else get this when they tried to switch to UDG, is there a solution? Yes, I did ensure that I got the right path down and yes UDG is a supported transport protocol... any ideas?

You using mysql client or mysqli client? If it's mysqli, you have to make a different modification.

I think it's mysqli, as in PHPinfo one of the configure commands are:

'--with-mysqli'

You have to modify instead ips_kernel/class_db_mysqli_client.php

http://us2.php.net/mysqli_connect

You have to change the connect function to specify the socket as one of the parameters.
