Ruprecht, Make sure you have PHP pointing to the right location for the mysql.sock. "locate mysql.sock". Sometimes its in the /tmp dir. If it is in another location you can point to it specifically when you call mysql_connect (refer to php.net for the exact string), or just change it in your php.ini.
