Cannot connect with the database

[dominant]

the mysql_connect() gives the error below

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/tmp/mysql.sock' 

The sql server is up, php up, apache up.

What is wrong?

firewall?

It also could be running on a different port than 3306.

/me hears duey's avatar saying "Move it along people, nothing to see here..."

Have you tried running nmap against the box?

nmap -p 1-65000 127.0.0.1

To see what you get?

[dominant]

I don't think that is a firewall matter as far as i can connect to the sql server using

telnet localhost 3306

I also can connect using the mysql client (mysql -u root -p)

It seems that php has the problem?

I also use chroot jail (/chroot/users) is where apache runs.
