Yes, my MySQL binary installation is putting it in /tmp, you are correct. I do not have a MySQL instance installed via RPM. I am reluctant to change my MySQL config to relocate mysql.sock, because I have other apps (Java, Ruby, Perl) dependant on my existing MySQL install(s)...not only on my devel boxes, but in production (should I ever get that far in my Python venture). Though, I really doubt it would cause a problem. But I bet my mysql command line client would not like it being moved though when I try to connect to MySQL without a host directive. I think that Django looks for the socket file only if it knows that it is trying to connect to a local MySQL instance. So what I did was change in settings.py: DATABASE_HOST = 'localhost' ...to... DATABASE_HOST = '192.168.0.100' ...which is in fact the ip address of my current del box, and it seems fine and working now. Again, I am still in the mode of pasting things together to understand how it works, and then I will make some better config decisions. I still want to know (some day) why the compiled version of MySQLdb ins't working. Because if I ever need something newer than v. 1.2.0, I will be stuck. Seems there are plenty of people having trouble with that, but few-to-no solutions. At least, none that I am seeing right now.
