Same as or related to bugs 179006 , 182292 and 203460 . ( Don't mistake the closed bugs with a fix, they should be reopened imho ) I would really hope that the issue is given more priority, i can't stick to kde 3.5.x forever. BTW: Because of this I've installed PostgreSQL on a central machine and pointed akonadi to this one. Unfortunately akonadi insists on starting a local server which also fails (because it's 1) not installed and 2) see above). Hej, this bug has been fixed recently in 4.5 branch and trunk. You have to put the following section [Connection] SocketDirectory=/some/path/on/non-afs-share into ~/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc and remove the 'Options' entry from the [MYSQL] section. Akonadi server must not be running during this change! Ciao, Tobias Thanks a lot. But why not put it into /tmp/ksocket-<user>, where other kde related sockets are already stored, automatically? It shouldn't be the users responsibility to configure this (many users don't even know what a socket is, I guess). Because that is a kde thing, and akonadi can't rely on that. However, /tmp/<somedir> is a good place, and i would like to see a automatic solution in the end. It's really time to get a user-socket directory into the XDG Base Directory Specification. Btw. - does that SocketDirectory option support some syntax so i can put the username as $VAR into it? because i intend to configure that one globally ... How would the syntax look like then?

Akonadi server must not be running during this change! Tried this with 4.5.3, doesn't work :( *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 179006 *** |
Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.0) OS: Linux Since special files (incl. sockets) are not supported in AFS, mysql can't create a socket file, thus akonadi server can't connect to the database.
