Re: Can't connect to mysql from program

#1

Hi Chris,

Try to edit you my.cnf file ( /usr/local/etc/my.cnf ) and in both
sections [client] and [mysqld] you should have the same path to MySQL
socket:
[client]
socket = /tmp/mysql.tmp
...........
[mysqld]
socket = /tmp/mysql.tmp
.........
Then restart MySQL and run your application again.

Regards,
Ovidiu

Error I get:

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket ''

I am attempting to connect to my mysql database, through a program I’m
writing using mysql++.
The database is running and my website(also using database) is
receiving no problems.

I notice in the error that it can't connect to socket '' which is the
empty string which is weird, looking for solutions on the net gave me
plenty of results with the socket being '/tmp/mysql.tmp' or the like,
but none with it empty.

Any help would be appreciated,
Chris

Note: FreeBSD is the os
