Re: struggling with 3.2

Jason,
I've done the same just a week ago - it turns out that the PHP port mysql code doesn't know that Apache is chrooted, and by default will try and connect to /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock, which obviously isn't within the chrooted environment.

The simplest fix is to simply put this in /etc/my.cnf [client]
  password=webby
  host=localhost
  user=zeus
  socket=/var/www/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock [mysqld]
  bind=127.0.0.1
  socket=/var/www/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock

# mkdir -p /var/www/var/run/mysql
# chown mysql /var/www/var/run/mysql
and then restart mysqld and apache.
This directs mysqld and mysql clients (which are not chrooted) to use the socket within the chroot jail, and the mysql module doesn't know/care that it is chrooted.

An alternative is to hard link /var/www/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock to /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock

Unless you've configured it otherwise (via "-u" in rc.conf), Apache is chrooted in /var/www in 3.2. Check the list archives for solutions using "chroot" and "httpd" as keywords.
