Re: [AMaViS-user] mysql.sock

Michael,

| How can I change where amavisd-new looks for the mysql.sock file?
| My logs show that it is looking for /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock but my
| sql sock is at /temp/mysql.sock

Usually amavisd-new is accessing SySQL server via inet socket,
not via Unix socket, although this is all delegated to DBI Perl module,
and anything that DBI / DBD::mysql combo allows should be possible.

The elements of @lookup_sql_dsn variable (in file amavisd.conf),
e.g. 'DBI:mysql:mail:host1', are passed to DBI and then to DBD::mysql
unchanged. See DBD::mysql man page for more options.
