Connect MySQL from Zend Server CE trough unix socket!

First of all, let me introduce you to my case. I’m working on a Mac with both Xampp and Zend Server CE. Both have separate MySQL servers installed from their default installation on my machine. Both have their separate phpMyAdmins.

The one thing I couldn’t find in the man page of Zend Server CE is how to I access this MySQL server installation from my PHP scripts.

The answer is quite simple – trough UNIX socket. The ZS CE default db socket is:

/usr/local/zend/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock

and yet again let me say that this is for Mac.
