Description Need Real Name 2000-10-29 17:49:50 UTC

When trying to connect to the mysql server via php, the php shows 
following error:
Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server 
through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) 
in /var/www/html/positions/drawpositions.php on line 9

This is due to permissons to the /var/lib/mysql directory. Should be 
changed in the installation script.
