I had this same problem. I could connect via the mysql client if I was
ROOT, but not otherwise.
You may have a permissions problem. Ensure that /var, /var/lib, and
/var/lib/mysql are set to: drwxr-xr-x
That cured it for me.

Subject: PHP and MySQL
I wanna access to a DB via php but when I run it in a navigator y get the
following message
Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server
through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) in
/home/httpd/html/challa.php on line 10
Unable to connect to database
I can get connected to the DB without problem with the mysql client but I
can't via web... what the heck is wrong?
