config location for mysql.sock?

[agehring]

I'm running Zabbix (1.4.2) on a OS X system, which has the default location of mysql.sock in /var/mysql, but the Zabbix frontend wants it in /tmp.


I've been looking through the conf files, but can't find where I would change this for the frontend.

Thanks,
Andrew

I had a similar problem when installing zabbix recently for the first time on a Fedora 6 machine. I think the file that you're looking for is the php.ini file. In my case, my socket was located in the /data directory, so this is the configuration in my /etc/php.ini file:

; Default socket name for local MySQL connects. If empty, uses the built-in
; MySQL defaults.
mysql.default_socket = /data/mysql.sock

optionally you can specify the socket location along with the db hostname in conf/zabbix.conf.php

$DB["SERVER"] = 'localhost:/path/to/mysql.lock';
