Fastcgi and mysql woes

Rails
1

Hi,

I have been heck of a time to get mysql and fastcgi to
work properly on my Mac OS X box. I keep getting the
following error: Can’t connect to local MySQL server
through socket ‘/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock’
(13)

I have even tried commenting out the “socket” option
in my database.yml but it still gives me the same
error. I’m ok when I use webrick, but apache is not
being nice. I can connect via sockets to mysql like
"mysql -uroot -ppassword
–socket=/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock

So I’m guessing its an Apache or Fastcgi problem.
Here is my config inside apache:

LoadModule fastcgi_module
/opt/local/apache2/modules/mod_fastcgi.so

AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fcgi_ipc/ FastCgiServer /tmp/railstest/public/dispatch.fcgi -initial-env RAILS_ENV=development -processes 2 -idle-timeout 60

Any ideas?

What’s an Intel chip doing in a Mac? A whole lor more that it’s ever
done in a PC.

What does database.yml look like?

Remember apache runs as a different user, so check the
permissions on the socket (and the directories containing it).

–socket=/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock
