I have a managed Linux server. Via the web panel, I have created a database and a database user. On the command line, I have to connect to the database via a form like :
mysql -u user -S /tmp/mysql5.sock -p database
I have to use the "socket" form (-S) or it fails to connect (access denied). See :
Regarding the problem I have setting up a new 1.22.7 installation on a managed host where MySQL needs to be accessed via a socket (-S), I see Jesús Martínez Novo has logged a bug yesterday :
Bug 65998 - mysqli: No way to specify the socket location https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65998
I think this is the same issue I am having and Jesús has beaten me to logging the bug. I will add what information I have and add myself to the Cc list.
