    Socket connect error with phpMyAdmin

    Not sure if this is truly a mySQL issue or a PHP issue, since the problem
    started when I reconfigured/made a PHP upgrade:We're using RedHat ES2.1.
    With PHP 4.1.3 and phpMyAdmin 2.5.6, it was
    working fine.
    Then I upgraded to PHP 4.3.4. And I started getting the error:
    MySQL said:
    #2002 - Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
    '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
    through phpMyAdmin, and from mySQL at the command line:
    #2002 - Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
    '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (1)

    So I re-make'd PHP changing the ./configure line from what it was
    (don't recall) to --with-mysql
    Restarted the whole server, and now mySQL works fine from the command
    line, but I still get the same error in phpMyAdmin.

    I reinstalled it to a different location, and doublechecked
    config.inc.php, and all is fine in there.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
