Hi --
Installed MediaWiki from the ports tree on OpenBSD ... when I hit the MediaWiki config page, it fails to connect to mysql with the message: "MySQL error 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock" However, MySQL is indeed running on that socket: mysql> status -------------- mysql Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.24, for unknown-openbsd3.8 (i386) Connection id: 2 Current database: Current user: jax@localhost SSL: Not in use Current pager: stdout Using outfile: '' Server version: 4.0.24 Protocol version: 10 Connection: Localhost via UNIX socket Client characterset: latin1 Server characterset: latin1 UNIX socket: /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock Uptime: 14 min 10 sec Any tips? -- Jack J.

But the config web page for MediaWiki seems to demand that the socket exist in (unreachable) /var/run ... how do I change MediaWiki's configuration setup to tell it a chroot-accessible location to look for the socket? -- Jack J.
