configure piler executable to use remote mysql server

[btb]

hi-

in the sample piler config file [etc/piler/piler.conf.dist]:

the following example is set:

mysqlsocket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

i am using an existing, remote mysql server for piler. i'm able to configure all of the other elements to use this server [e.g. sphinx.conf and webui/config-site.php], but how do i do the same for piler.conf?

on a whim, i've tried mysqlsocket=dba.example.com [which of course doesn't make much sense since the setting is named "socket"], but it didn't work.

ah, i think i may have just answered this mysql. there appears to also be a mysqlhost config parameter, which does indeed seem to work. at least it doesn't result in cant connect to mysql server :) . i see the reference now in etc/example.conf, but it seemed to be missing from the piler.conf file generated during the install.

mystery solved
