I cannot seem to find a way to set the mysql socket path. Nor in gambas3 gb.mysql nor in gambas2 gb.db component. How can I do that? See here for more related info when using localhost as host. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/can-not-connect-to-server.html As far as i can see this should be a client option. Regards, Ron_2nd.
