Howdy, people First of all, a big thank-you to Jochen :) Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to make it work (atleast not this afternoon), so I followed my instincts: grabbed a newercopy of mysql (3.23.32-1.7.6x, with version 3.23.22 of mysqlclient) and upgraded the current (that is ex-) installation, and everything works smooth now. I don't know why, and I really don't care (:D), but if anyone has the same problem as I did, I recommend it :)) Again, thanks, and all the best to y'all :)

Elis.

Both have their own compiled values for this location. In other words, if your client library and and your server are from different sources, or if you have some different setting in my.cnf, then it may well happen, that the client is using the wrong socket file.

From DBD::mysql's point of view the location of the file is configurable via some DSN option. The same applies to the server, but I do not remember exactly how. Besides, you can always try to connect via IP, by specifying 127.0.0.1 as host.

Bye,
