RE: Newbie ACID config problem

["John Berkers" <berjo () ozemail com au>]

I had the same problem at one stage.  I was using a non-rpm build of PHP
(I'd gone and compiled it myself).  I tried getting mysql to use
/tmp/mysql.sock, but that caused hassles with the local client.  I ended up
going back to an rpm build of PHP once the bcmath dependency for ACID was
removed.

Of course you could always try to fiddle the PHP build process to make it
use the right mysql.sock from the outset.

This is a php issue, not an ACID or snort issue.  The problem is that php is
expecting the unix socket to connect to mysql to be located in /tmp.  It's
not there so it can't connect.  Find mysql.sock (usually in /var/lib/mysql
for Redhat when installed via rpm's) and simlink it to /tmp/mysql.sock:

ln -s /var/lib/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock

should work then.
