I did a
port selfupdate, and updated a few ports, then spent
four hours underwater dealing with things that suddenly stopped working:
php5 fatal error call to undefined function mysql_connect
Making sure I had the following installed (with options I needed) fixed the error above.
mysql5-server 5.1.42_0 (was already OK)php5 5.3.1_1+apache2+darwin_10+fastcgi+macosx+mysql5+postgresql83+sqlitephp5-mysql 5.3.1_2+mysqlnd
I checked the setup with
php_info(), but then I got another error:
mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: [2002] No such file or directory (trying to connect via unix:///tmp/mysql.sock)
After some investigation, I created a
php.ini file:
$ sudo cp /opt/local/etc/php5/php.ini{-development,}
$ sudo chown username /opt/local/etc/php5/php.iniEdited
php.ini:
< mysql.default_socket =
--
> mysql.default_socket = /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock
(I have a memory of having done something like this before, but apparently I had to do it again.)
Then, of course, I got new errors:
mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: OK packet 6 bytes shorter than expected.
mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: mysqlnd cannot connect to MySQL 4.1+ using old authentication in ...
The Google helpfully led me to this
stackoverflowanswer (why didn't I think of that first?!), and the answer was a total surprise. Happily, after the final fix, everything is working again:
mysql> select Length(`Password`), Substring(`Password`,1,1)
from `mysql`.`user` where `user` = 'username';
+--------------------+---------------------------+
| Length(`Password`) | Substring(`Password`,1,1) |
+--------------------+---------------------------+
| 16 | 3 |

mysql> set password for 'username'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('password');
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

Now that a good chunk of my "free day" has been used up, I think I'm going outside for some fresh air.
