MySQL socket location

[Anon]

First time install here.

When I bring down my server then attempt to restart it, MySQL is unable to locate the socket in the tmp directory.

Am I able to put the mysqld.sock anywhere I'd like using the ./configure --with-unix-socket-path=/path/to/socket
directive? Where is a good place to put this?

Thanks much!

The way I remedied thjis problem when I had it, was I created a symlink to the acctual file and placed the link in my tmp dir. Of course this will work on Linux systems and not Windows. Hope I helped...
