in fact each tool has it's own config section in the defaults file while port is for TCP (127.0.0.1) and socket for socket-connections (localhost) [mysqld] socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql-replication.sock port = 3307 [client] socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql-replication.sock port = 3307 [mysqladmin] socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql-replication.sock port = 3307 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~maria-discuss Post to : maria-discuss@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~maria-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
