Hi,

Gossamer Forum unfortunately does not support passing the extra arguments required to tell DBD::mysql to use a different socket for connections. This is mainly because the syntax for this has changed numerous times, and very few people used it.

You could try (untested) setting hostname to:

host=localhost;mysql_socket=/path/to/new/mysql.sock

and see if that works.

Cheers,

Alex
