[cobalt-developers] Problem connecting MySQL to PHP



I lease a cobalt RAQ4 (at a web farm) which got hacked via BIND.

The system has been rebuilt from scratch and didn't include MySQL.
So I loaded the latest MySQL but now can't get PHP to talk to it.
I'm running phpMyAdmin and I get the following message :

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server
through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111)

According to the Cobalt knowledge base MySql has to be loaded first
but the rebuilt system came with php 4.03 already loaded but no MySQL.

How do I get the php to work with the MySQL ?

Any help appreciated.
