Hi!
Does the above socket exists and what is the privilege for the file ?
If it doesn't exists, your PHP isn't compiled to use the same sockets
than mysqld and you have to recompile it!
You may be able to fix this by setting the MYSQL_UNIX_PORT environment
variable to point to the right socket file (you can find this with
mysqladmin var)
shell> perror 111
Connection refused
grep 111 /usr/include/asm/errno.h
#define ECONNREFUSED 111 /* Connection refused */
I don't know when you get connection refused; It may be a privilege
problem on the above socket.
