I've compiled PHP 5.4.5 from source, and I've installed nginx 1.2.1 and mysql 5.1.63-0ubuntu0.11.04.1 from apt-get on my Ubuntu 11.04 LTS server.

I installed nginx using this:

add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable
echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nginx/stable/ubuntu lucid main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx-stable-lucid.list
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys C300EE8C
apt-get update
apt-get install nginx

I've compiled PHP 5.4.5 with the following configure settings:

./configure --enable-fpm --with-mcrypt --with-zlib --enable-mbstring --with-openssl --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib --with-png-dir=/usr/lib --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-curl --enable-ftp --with-mysql=mysqlnd --with-mysqli=mysqlnd --with-pdo-mysql=mysqlnd --enable-zip

I've installed mysql using this:

apt-get install mysql-server mysql-common mysql-client

The mysql my.cnf file is stock, the sock files is still located within /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock. Nginx and PHP use the socket in /var/run/php/php.sock.

Currently, I can't seem to get PHP to Connect to the MySQL server at all, it always says that I have this error Connect Error (2002) No such file or directory.

This is my php.ini file:

[date]
date.default_latitude = "40.725314"
date.default_longitude = "-73.498986"
date.timezone = "America/New_York"

mysql.allow_local_infile = "On"
mysql.allow_persistent = "On"
mysql.connect_timeout = 60

I can confirm that the /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock file is there, and it has the exact same configuration as the /var/run/php/php.sock file that's in it's sister directory, so I have no idea why one can't connect to the other. Any idea's would be greatly appreciated.

I've tried mysql.default_socket and pdo_mysql.default_socket as unix:/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock and /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock.

    Please could you try example 3 from php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php to see if php can connect to mysql while you specify parameters inside php code?

  • Same issue, Warning: mysql_connect(): No such file or directory in mysql.php on line 5 Could not connect: No such file or directory. Aug 12, 2012 at 13:09

    Can you try to connect with mysql client as nginx user? su - www-data -s /bin/bash and mysql -u root -p -S /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

  • I ssh'd into root, and used the following command su - www-data -s /bin/bash and mysql -u root -p -S /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock, that give me the following output su: invalid option -- 'u'. Aug 12, 2012 at 13:41

    Ok so we have much more information. (btw i mean 2 different commands).

As www-data can't connect to mysql with he mysql cli client, i suspect there must be a permission issue.

Could you :

  • Check that root can connect to mysql

    # mysql -u root -p -S /var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock

  • Check where www-data has a permission issue

    # su - www-data -s /bin/bash

    Then :

    $ ls -l /var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock

    $ ls -l /var/run/mysqld

  • mysql -u root -p -S /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock Does work, produces something like Welcome to the MySQL monitor, and gives me an active command SQL prompt. su - www-data -s /bin/bash works and brings me to a www-data command prompt. The command ls -l /var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock gives me this output srwxrwxrwx 1 mysql mysql 0 Aug 12 10:37 /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock. The command ls -l /var/run/mysqld gives me this output total 0\nsrwxrwxrwx 1 mysql mysql 0 Aug 12 10:37 mysqld.sock. Error remains within the PHP script. Aug 12, 2012 at 14:47
  • Running mysql -u root -p -S /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock after su - www-data -s /bin/bash results in a connection. So I went back to the PHP example script you mentioned in the PHP manual, (Example 3). After editing it so that example one does not kill the script after the first failed attempt in the first example and entering my correct credentials in example two, it does work! Thank you! Aug 12, 2012 at 14:59
  • Also changin the first example to include .sock at the end also fixed that. So I guess, I'll raise a bug report with the documentation team on PHP. Thank you again for your help! Aug 12, 2012 at 15:01
