Could be a possibility; search for the socket path in the test sources. > I prefer changing the location of MySQL socket than > doing that. Another possibility. Do that temporarily in my.cnf, choosing the socket used by the installation tests. > I was hoping there is a command line parameter that can specify > the socket location used for testing... Maybe there is one, I don't know. But mysql has a cmdline param to specify an alternative my.cnf. hth, joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
