Another way is this: # MySQL if [ -x /usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe ]; then echo -n ' mysqld' rm -f /var/www/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock /usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe > /dev/null & sleep 10 ln /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock /var/www/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock fi
That's my rc.local for starting mysql. Works just fine here :) This way, it's /var/run/mysql.sock inside and outside the chroot. But you have to recreate the hardlink if mysql restarts. -- Jonathan
