Have now solved both problems.

Have used a symlink for the socket file, but would be interested to know if 
it's possible to supply the path in the config.

regards

Subject: mariadb/mysql socket error and config.php error

Hi,

I'm in the process of setting up robinhood. I currently see two errors in the 
webui:

i)                    Danger! PDO Database error: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't 
connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

ii)                   Danger! You need to configure the database in config.php 
! Type/home/db_name or user is missing !


I've moved the mariadb to a new location (not /var/lib/mysql) and this is 
reflected in the /etc/my.cnf

The filesystem config file is:

/etc/robinhood.d/scratch.conf

Where should I specify the socket? Can it go within the ListManager, Mysql 
block? I haven't found any documentation on this.
Any help appreciated with ii) also.

thanks
David
