I'm getting there..
I recompiled my kernel with version 2.6.17.11 to start with, then following the scratch install to the tee, with the new 2.0.1b1 version from the x2 svn server after everything going well I get to subphase 6.2 step 2:

Code: Select all

root@phone:~# /usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_area_code_populate.pl
DBI connect('asterisk:localhost:3306','cron',...) failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) at /usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_area_code_populate.pl line 63
Couldn't connect to database: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) at /usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_area_code_populate.pl line 63.


I looked around the web for a few hours before submitting to the forum that knows all! All I could see is that the mysql.sock file does not exist in /var/run/mysql.sock

it connects with:

Code: Select all

Server version          4.0.27-log
Protocol version        10
Connection              Localhost via UNIX socket
UNIX socket             /tmp/mysql.sock
Uptime:                 17 min 1 sec


and now I'm stuck!

ok the answer was simpler than I thought

ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock

thanks for looking though!

You can also define where the mysql.sock file goes in your mysql configuration file.

I thought about that, but I figured another app might request the sock file from the old location...
