Hi all,
Ok, I confirm, I was jealous about Allan: after the “he broke it!” everyone know him. I wanted to be more popular, and maybe with my last crap I did.
I changed configuration, pid and sock file path in MySQL; I was pretty sure that change didn’t broke anything except php, but…I failed.
Yesterday I lost the whole day trying to fix this and in the night I found the solution: the problem was mysql set sock file path to /tmp/mysql.sock by default, I need to pass the option in configure. Don’t ask me why, but I thought that move sock file in a new location was a minor change and setting the new path into my.cnf was enough.
mysql 5.1.41-2 is already in [extra] and will fix everything (qt applications, mysql-python, etc…).
At least, with this “little story”, I’ll remember to put every package in [testing] first!
Happy update :)




Bash broke it!
even with mysql 5.1.41-2 I had to edit /etc/php/php.ini and set:
mysql.default_socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
are you sure everything is ok?
everything except php, Pierre is working on this.
Lol, so you’re the guy who caused that problem… Oh well, it only took me less than 5 minutes to fix all my mysql stuff.
