OS X Client Server

The other day suddenly MYSQL on my OS X web server stopped working.
I was getting this error:
ERROR 2002 (HY000) Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket /tmp/mysql.sock

I ran in to a problem today. I noticed that my logs were being filled with PHP Notices. I had hundreds of lines in my error log that looked like this:

[Mon Dec 4 05:25:49 2006] [error] PHP Notice: Constant
[Mon Dec 4 05:25:49 2006] [error] PHP Notice: Constant
[Mon Dec 4 05:25:49 2006] [error] PHP Notice: Constant
[Mon Dec 4 05:25:50 2006] [error] PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant

It turns out I had my PHP error reporting set too high. I needed to turn off the reporting of PHP notices in my PHP.ini file.

I was looking for my php.ini file tonight so that I could change my error reporting to not log notices. I thought it was located at:

private/etc/php.ini

I was wrong… Making changes to this file did nothing for me. It turns out that on my installation of PHP (Marc Liyanage - entropy PHP version
http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/)

It turns out it was located in:

usr/local/php/lib/php.ini
