I received the same message using $host = '192.168.1.2';
or $host = '192.168.1.2:3306';
It was my understanding that only if the host is null or the string is
'localhost' then sockets would be used to connect to the database.
This seems such a drastic solution and I'm reluctant to do this but,
should I delete any packages and reinstall? If, so what is the best way
to go about this? Any preferred order?
Thanks,
Greg

...Try to connect with IP address instead of hostname. AFAIK
.../tmp/mysql.sock is used for localhost connections only.
