X Tiger 10.4.5 + phpBB2 + MySQL 5 + Can"t Connect Issue!

Hi,

Im getting the following: Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to
local MySQL server through socket...etc.

NOTES:

1.) MySQL 5 is running fine.
2.) Im able to connect to it via Navicat.
3.) I run Lasso on the same host, I know that I can pull and post
data to and from MySQL. So its NOT mysql. Its PHP.

I ran across a few postings from Apple and others that had SIMILAR
problems, however those solutions are for MySQL 4 not MySQL 5. Seems
to be bit of confusion about how to solve this problem. I tried what
apple suggested...and that FAILED:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301457

So now Im asking you good people, who actually BUILT the damn...ahem
wrote the software. Im at whits end and I need to get this up and
running.

All I did was update from 10.4.4 to 10.4.5 and now PHP will not talk
to MySQL at all. Ok...so what's the solution folks ? Anyone ?
Buehler ? Buehler ????

Thanks ahead of time....

Is there really a .sock file where you're telling php there is? MySQL can put
the socket file anywhere you want depending on it's
configuration. /etc/my.cnf should specify this.
