Sorry for crossposting in ports, chat ad to mantainer itself... but all my previous email on this topic were not answered, but I really need a quick , very quick answer... Hi, I am doing a project for my university and I need to use a database. We worked great with PostreSQL, but now it has a big limitation on the query size (8kb) and we have to add text records (via Web) of about 70-100kb so we have to looking for other options. We arrive to MySql that seems to not suffers from this limitation and I have installed it, but our port seems not able to make the MySql socket /tmp/mysql.sock at all... We need that because the product we are using for manage the database remotely is HeiTML and it needs it to work. The bad news is that the LINUX rpm package works well and it create the right socket. Linux [root@seaside /]# find . -name "*.sock" -print ./var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock [root@seaside /]# FreeBSD seaside:/# find . -name "*.sock" -print seaside:/# and to make thing manually : seaside:/# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh mysql seaside:/# ll /tmp/ total 1 drwxrwxrwt 2 root wheel 512 Jul 25 09:48 vi.recover seaside:/# seaside:/# ps -auxc | grep mysql mysql 438 0.0 1.4 11008 1856 p2 I 10:33AM 0:00.03 mysqld Now on tuesday perhaps I have to wipe my FreeBSD (freebsd.ds.unifi.it) box (it was the first in a Linux jungle, and perhaps :-( also the last) and installed another Linux box. It was a very annoying thing because I make a big advocacy to FreeBSD there and I think I can continue to replace Linux boxes with FreeBSD ones, but ... Probably is a my fault, and what seems a big problem is a little thing, but the default port installed by a plain make install in the port dir make this situation and I was not able to correct this. I really tried to change the configure args by adding the line to explicit set the path of the socket but also that is not working... I then dig in the script that starts the server (/usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld)and I found : #Default communication ports #MYSQL_TCP_PORT=3306 if test -z "$MYSQL_UNIX_PORT" then MYSQL_UNIX_PORT="/tmp/mysql.sock" export MYSQL_UNIX_PORT fi #export MYSQL_TCP_PORT that seems to handle the socket, but probably make the right thing, becaus e the socket is never created... Please let me know... Thanks for attention... -- Regards...
