Hello,
I want to move mysql4 server to new machine, but I have problems
with php. I thought that using port redirector (rinetd) would be
sufficient until all customers change their php scripts, but it
doesn't work.
Most people use "localhost" in call to mysql_connect() and php tries
to connect using socket - which isn't present if mysqld is running
on another box. I tried playing with mysql.default_host and
default_port in php.ini, but with no effect.
In php manual I have found that php will always try to connect using
socket if it finds "localhost". But is there any option how to move
database to another box flawlessly?
