i moved mysql to another drive, and i am getting these errors
/etc/cron.hourly/modsecparse.pl:
DBI connect('modsec:localhost','modsec',...) failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) at /etc/cron.hourly/modsecparse.pl line 19
Unable to connect to mysql database at /etc/cron.hourly/modsecparse.pl line 19.
[root@viper ~]# ls -la /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jan 6 20:11 /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock -> /home3/mysql/mysql.sock
the socket exists.
in cpanel - service manager mysql looks as down, and eximstats the same.
any idea where is the config for modsec and chkserv so that i could set the new mysql.sock location? maybe that will work.

Example:
datadir=/home3/mysql/

| Posted by Bilco105, 01-07-2008, 08:37 AM | | Why not just remove the symlinks and mount your new drive as /var/lib/mysql?, thats generally what I do.
If you have other data on the new disk, then you're better symlinking your entire mysql directory to the new drive, rather than just the socket file..;
ln -s /home3/mysql /var/lib/mysql.

| Posted by themedia, 01-07-2008, 08:54 AM | | solved: rm -rf /var/lib/mysql
ln -s /home3/mysql /var/lib/mysql
services look up. eximstats hopefully have no more trouble.
