Description

Hi,

Attached a patch which allows an alternate UNIX socket to be used for MySQL. The default is /tmp/mysql.sock, but this is mostly changed to a path like /var/run/mysql or /var/lib/mysql in production.

I have made it so that when DATABASE_HOST starts with a '/' it is a socket, otherwise it's a HOST. This might not work on Windows, but heck, who's using namedpipes anyway :)

Cheers,

Geert

I found this patch very useful in some cases. I'm getting trouble using shared hosting with dedicated database where connections to MySQL db are establised via non standard socket like "/home/username/tmp/mysql-socket"
