I think some of you might have problem connecting to MySQL with PHP(mysql_connect) in Max OS X if you configured MySQL5 with Darwin Ports. Most probably you will get these error message;

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock’ (13) in /Users/paulooicongjen/myproject/web/info.php on line 10
Could not connect: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock’ (13)

The error message is caused by the folder mode created by MySQL installation by default. To solve this problem, change your folder mode to 755 and restart apache.

cd /opt/local/var/run
sudo chmod 755 mysql5
sudo apachectl restart

It should works now!

Been using TextMate recently, really loving it like hell. There is a best part of TextMate that you can create a New Project instantly from your www folder. But first and foremost you got to create symlink to /bin.

To create a symlink, do this

sudo ln -s /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/mate /bin/mate

After you have created the symlink, change directory to your www folder for example

cd /opt/local/apache/htdocs/myproject

And run the command mate .

mate .

Congrat, new project has been created with Text Mate, just save it with shortcut key Ctrl + Command + S

Just found out FreeBSD Ports ported Suhosin. When you install php from port, you can either choose configure with Suhosin or no.
