The php mysql.default_sock setting saved my day!

There seems to be a difference from the version of Leopard/php5 that you describe to what I have. The reference to the php5.conf file in /private/etc/apache2/other/ was nowhere to be found in my httpd.conf file. I had to add the include at the bottom of the includes myself. I then restarted apache, flushed the Safari buffer/cache, and finally I got to work instead of just showing the source code.

My sincere thanks!

edited http.conf for php
tried most of the above still cannot get default page to appear

I had set up the Virtual Host, and permissions were fine, but still had a forbidden problem until I nested the in the httpd-vhosts.conf

Yeah – I’m virtually dancing – pun intended.

; Default host for mysql_connect() (doesn’t apply in safe mode).
mysqli.default_host =

; Default user for mysql_connect() (doesn’t apply in safe mode).
mysqli.default_user =

How do I configure it?

mysql.default_socket =

becomes:

mysql.default_socket = /private/tmp/mysql.sock

and mysqli.default_socket =

becomes:

mysqli.default_socket = /private/tmp/mysql.sock

of course, from the sharing pref pane, stop the server and restart it and voila!

I tried the command “curl -I “http://localhost/~macbookpro/info.php”

I get this results:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sat, 28 Jun 2008 12:56:15 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.8 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.7l DAV/2 PHP/5.2.5 Phusion_Passenger/2.0.1

Content-Type: text/html

But, if i run “curl -G “http://localhost/~macbookpro/info.php”

I get this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘?’ in /Users/macbookpro/Sites/info.php on line 1

Anyone can help me? Thank you.

One hint if the virtual hosts aren’t working – in my old httpd.conf file I had just used * for the port instead of *:80. When I changed the port # in the entries it worked:

[VirtualHost *:80]
ServerName my.virtual.site
DocumentRoot “/some/other/path”
[/VirtualHost]

Also originally I did not have the DocumentRoot value in double quotes but adding the quotes did not make things work any better.

any help would be appreciated

thanks in advance

I just edited the conf file, but when i try a php test page with , but when I open it, i just see that code…

1.- download this
ftp://ftp.mysql.com/pub/mysql/download/gui-tools/MySQL.prefPane-leopardfix.zip
and replace the PefPane.

2.- Go to the Finder, press Command-Shift-G and type this:
/usr/local/
A window will open

3.- Find and copy the MySQLCOM directory to Library/StartupItems/. If you get any error, simply copy the MySQLCOM folder to our desktop and then to the StartupItems folder. You will have to enter your administrator pasword to allow the MySQLCOM folder to be copied onto the StsrtupItems folder. Don’t worry, this is OK.

4.- Restart your Mac and enjoy MySQL.

Prior to installing mySql, I enabled php as per the instructions on the top of the page. I then followed the advise about creating a php.ini copy and setting:

mysql.default_socket = /private/tmp/mysql.sock
mysqli.default_socket = /private/tmp/mysql.sock

Next, I installed mySql, however, I cannot seem to start mySql or set the password (as per post no. 7) as follows:

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password

Can anyone help a poor sap like me out? Also, what directory is mySql installed to?

Thanks so much in advance!

Cheers,
Dipesh.
