I just updated from MacOS X 10.4.3 to 10.4.4, and without making ANY  
other changes, all my websites that formerly connected to MySQL via  
"localhost" no longer work. I can still connect by using an explicit  
host name instead of "localhost", but my understanding is this is  
slower.

I get the error message: "Can't connect to local MySQL server through  
socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) (localhost))" That path doesn't  
exist; the socket is in /tmp, where it's always been.

I've grepped through php.ini and my.cnf, and nothing stuck out.

Any clues?
