I'm trying to import mail messages in mbox format using maillist.php and I get the following error:

$ cat msg1 | /usr/bin/php /home/hari/FUDforum/scripts/maillist.php 1
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.4

<br />
<b>Warning</b>: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in <b>/home/hari/FUDforum/include/theme/default/db.inc</b> on line <b>66</b><br />
<br />
<b>Warning</b>: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in <b>/home/hari/FUDforum/include/theme/default/db.inc</b> on line <b>66</b><br />
<br />
<b>Warning</b>: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in <b>/home/hari/FUDforum/include/theme/default/db.inc</b> on line <b>66</b><br />
(maillist.php:342
) : <br />
Query: Initiating mysql_connect<br />
Server Version: Unknown<br />


Is there anything obvious that I'm not doing? Otherwise is there an easier way to import mail files?

Thanks,
Hari Nair

I suspect you have not unlocked the forum before attempting to import messages from the mailing list.

The forum is unlocked, and the files are accessible through the shell.

In the global set up, I left the database server entry empty, and everything works. I think the mysql socket is at /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock (which is a symlink to /tmp/mysql.sock), but running maillist.php from the command line seems to look for /var/tmp/mysql.sock which does not exist.

This is my ISP account, so I do not have root access.

I know very little about mysql. Is there an environment variable or an option I can pass to php to look at the proper socket?

Thanks,
Hari Nair

Never mind - I fixed the problem!

I set the database server path to :/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock in the administration panel and now the mail import works.

Thanks for a great product.
