How to have PHP Applications use local MySQL installation?

I have a custom MySQL 5.1 installation as described here. However, my Drupal PHP application is using the mysql libs and socket and defined in the php.ini file at /usr/local/lib/php.ini

How do I override these MySQL connection settings for my application?

1	You should be able to override those via your Drupal DB connection settings or via local PHP settings in your Drupal app's directory. permanent link answered 01 Nov '10, 15:19 seanf 12.2k●4●21●36 accept rate: 37%
