I apologize for not READING everyone's posts more carefully. I finally remembered where I first read about placing the mysql socket in the chroot: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/www/drupal5/core/pkg/Attic/MESSAGE?rev=1.4;content-type=text%2Fplain Thu Jul 24 09:28:40 2008 UTC I was a brand new user with OpenBSD in 2008, and I was installing drupal. The drupal-5 instructions included running mysql in chrooted httpd. As stu@ pointed out earlier, instructions were moved from the drupal pkg-readme to the mysql-server pkg-readme post 5.3. See the changes for Revision 1.4 at: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/www/drupal6/core/pkg/README Thus, my suggestion to Mr. Ferguson to read the included pkg_readme for mysql-server must have seemed idiotic at best. All of you have shown exemplary conduct in tolerating my beginner's attempts to help a new user. I knew what to do, but I wasn't clear and precise with my instructions. Sigh, I still have so much to learn, but, I won't give up. I'll learn from this, too, and do a much better job next time. Thank you all for being patient with me. Gilbert
