What is the string your using to make the connection in the PHP script? snip out the hostnames and stuff for security reasons.

Attempting to list the databases via PHP I get Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111) in (directory path snipped) on line 9 Dunno if this helps but:- If I run a <?php phpinfo(); ?> line then I get a lovely set of details but the mysql set says the directive for default port and socket have no value. Any ideas? Is this because of the firewall or something I need to change in the config?
