[ic] GRRRRRRR SRY - Can't Connect To MySQL

[interchange-users@interchange.redhat.com (Jim Webster)]

Having a problem setting up a new site w/ MySQL.  I've set several up and
never had this problem.

In the error.txt file:

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

MySQL Server is running and my host says there is nothing wrong.

Here is what I found showing the problem but I need the solution.

Anyone have an idea for me please?
Thanks.
