RE: [PHP-DB] establish mysql server....<install>

Check the socket specified in the configuration file, and make sure it exists, I forget the details exactly, but I had the same problem, and the directory which it tried to create the socket wasn't in the directory it was looking for it. I just created a symbolic link to it, and it works.
