On Centos 5.8, I have changed the default path to the MySQL
socket file using this setting in php.ini:
; Default socket name for local MySQL connects.
; If empty, uses the built-in ; MySQL defaults.
; http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysql.configuration.php#ini.mysql.default-socket
mysql.default_s
Two things.
1. Run create a file containing phpinfo(); and see where it says the mysql
socket path is. This will tell you were php expects it to be.
2. Every time I reply to your emails I get an annoying abuse department
email, can you turn that off if you will be having people reply to you.

That's what it seems like to me too, but the socket path in the
database for Cacti is "/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock". I don't see an option in
any of the Cacti config files that would allow me to point it elsewhere other
than what is noted in that database and the Cacti folk claim
Sorry I meant to say your database config within the Cacti application.

socket to be in /tmp

When you look at your database configuration where does it say the socket
is located?

I followed those steps which is what led us to the creation of
the symbolic link, but I was attempting to find out why we would even need to
do that. Was there some option that we missed at build time for PHP that would
have bypassed this issue?

We have a new CentOS installation using PHP5 and MySQL. We were having an
issue getting Cacti running, but the problem appears to boil down to a PHP
issue.
When attempting to access Cacti via the web, we got this error:
FATAL: Cannot connect to MySQL server on 'localhost'. Please make sure you
