I am not sure how to force DBI to use IP address instead of socket, but I think that is what I need to do. I compiled libmysqlclient.a using mysql-3.23.28-gamma sources and when I test Perl-DBI-DBD::mysql it fails trying to use /var/mysql.sock. I then recompiled libmysqlclient.a using --with-unix-sock-port=MYSQL because \mysql\data\my.cnf has: socket=MYSQL. Is this the right direction to get a socket connection with cygwin and MySQL Win32 local server... thanks, dale -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
