I have bought an Asus EeePad Transformer to see what Android was (compared to all the iOS I had :). One of the thing I found missing (on 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2) was the ability to access CIFS (AKA SMB ou Windows) share. It’s quite a shame since you know Android and no more than a tweaked Linux kernel…

SOGoProfileURL = "mysql://sogouser:sogopass@mysqlhost:3306/sogodbname/sogo_user_profile"; To use a local MySQL server, you will need to access the mysql.socket file. And when it is secured with chroot&friends, the mysql.sock may not be where SOGo expects it. I have mine located at /var/chroot/mysql/mysql.sock. Normally, you would modify my.cnf to refer to the MySQL socket file.Continue reading...
