DBSocket

This is documentation about a configuration directive, which can be placed within Movable Type’s core configuration file, mt-config.cgi, to customize the behavior of the system.

Used to define the database socket in the case which database is on the same host as the web server running Movable Type but the database and Perl’s UNIX sockets are different.

Advanced and typically only used in larger installations.

Examples

For the database socket “/path/to/mysql.sock”:

DBSocket /path/to/mysql.sock
