New location for the mysql socket in Karmic Koala

by David Orkin on Nov.07, 2009,under Ubuntu, Ruby on Rails, 9.10 Karmic Koala

Just loaded up my development environment for one of my rails application, which I haven't used since I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) to find that my application wouldn't run. Turns out that the mysql socket is now in /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock. Note: its not mysql.sock but mysqld.sock now. Anyways back to work...
