Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if the problem is an existing
configfile, but I don't know which one. The location
of mysql.sock isn't specified or implied in php.ini, so
far as I can see.
Configuring mysql with
--with-unix-socket-path=/usr/local/mysql/var/mysql.sock
doesn't seem to make any difference either.
