[Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki on OpenBSD 3.8

[Jack Woehr]

Hi --

Installed MediaWiki from the ports tree on OpenBSD ... when I hit
the MediaWiki config page, it fails to connect to mysql with the
message: "MySQL error 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server
through socket /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock" However, MySQL is indeed
running on that socket:

    mysql> status
    --------------
    mysql  Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.24, for unknown-openbsd3.8 (i386)

    Connection id:          2
    Current database:      
    Current user:           jax at localhost
    SSL:                    Not in use
    Current pager:          stdout
    Using outfile:          ''
    Server version:         4.0.24
    Protocol version:       10
    Connection:             Localhost via UNIX socket
    Client characterset:    latin1
    Server characterset:    latin1
    UNIX socket:            /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock
    Uptime:                 14 min 10 sec

Any tips?
