Hi,
I have an existing installtion of mysql and the socket is located in /tmp/mysql.sock.

However when I try to start ZM it is looking for /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock (which is the default standard)

Where do I change this within the ZM configs?

Thanks

Hi,

this is not a zm related config option but rather a mysql config option. mysql reads out the my.cnf (located in /etc/) and the .my.cnf (located in personal home directory) to read out it's configurations. Changing in in some of this file should do it: Hope this helps
