1481	[patch] Using alternate MySQL unix socket	Geert Vanderkelen <geert@…>	Adrian Holovaty	"Hi,

Attached a patch which allows an alternate UNIX socket to be used for MySQL. The default is /tmp/mysql.sock, but this is mostly changed to a path like /var/run/mysql or /var/lib/mysql in production.

I have made it so that when DATABASE_HOST starts with a '/' it is a socket, otherwise it's a HOST. This might not work on Windows, but heck, who's using namedpipes anyway :)

Cheers,

Geert"	enhancement	closed	Database layer (models, ORM)	magic-removal	normal	fixed	mysql socket unix_socket		Unreviewed	1	0	0	0	0	0
