I updated from php-mysql 4.0.6-7 to 4.0.6-12 from the up2date command. After

2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  Now it works!

Additional info:

I think Red Hat should check out it's updates to see if they work, before they 
tell us to install them.

My experience:

if you look to PHP info page, there you find:

MYSQL_SOCKET /tmp/mysql.sock

but in /etc/my.cnf is:

socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

and in /etc/php.ini is default setting:

mysql.default_socket =

My "non correct" solution (because changing of mysql.default_socket in php.ini 
doesn't have efect):

If you make a link:

ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock

connection to MySQL will established.
