Author PHP+MySQL+OpenBSD 3.4

Hi All,

I'm pretty new to this and have spent the better part of last night, and
today Googling, and looking on the various web sites, and I am getting
nowhere with this.

Here's what I'm running:

OS: OpenBSD 3.4
PHP: 4.3.5
MySQL: 3.23.57
Apache: 1.3.28


I have got apache up and running, this is the default apache on OpenBSD, I
built MySQL from the ports collection and added the server end as a pkg.
PHP was configured with --with-apxs --with-mysql
I know that PHP is working on Apache, and I also know that MySQL works from
the command line.
But i am trying to test the connectivity between PHP and MySQL using an app
that I found on freshmeat, it's a little blog app, and well, here's the
error that I keep getting.

Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (62) in /htdocs/blog/diag.php on line 62
Couldnt connect to MySQL: 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through
socket '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (62)

If anyone can please point me somewhere of use, it would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Neil Fryer
