Hi,

I’m having a problem connecting to my local MySQL db. my PHP DB code throws the following Exception:

Quote:

PDO::__construct() [<a href='pdo.--construct'>pdo.--construct</a>]: [2002] No such file or directory (trying to connect via unix:///tmp/mysql.sock)

I suspect the socket being wrong since all my MySQL GUI clients connect via /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock.

does anyone know, if that’s a correct assumption?

thanks Dormi
