I think nobody has reported this before.  I cannot connect to  the
mysql server on the localhost via the mysql socket file, neither with
mysql.default_socket in php.ini, or with mysql_connect() or
mysql_connect("localhost:/path/to/socket").  It was working till PHP
4.1.2.  I have checked the phpinfo() and seen that the php.ini was
indeed loaded.  (Some options are actually tweaked.)  I have also
checked that the webserver user (nobody) has indeed the previledge to
read from/write to that socket file.  I can su as nobody and connect to
the local mysql server via the socket file (I use skip-networking) with
the console mysql client.  No password is required for nobody.  I have
also checked the mysql log file and see no log record on this.  The
error message I obtained from PHP is:

Warning: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (111) in
/local/home/imacat/public_html/test.php on line 26

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to MySQL server on
'localhost' (111)
 in /local/home/imacat/public_html/test.php on line 26

But, if I connect via TCP/IP (comment out skip-networking), everything
goes fine.

I can't go any further except recompile and debugging the PHP source
code, but it's not possible, since it is on a slow development server. 
I wish this above infomation could be helpful, or at least someone
could tell me where I went wrong, that I could connect in the past but
cannot connect now.
