I've already checked that. It is enabled. I am running Scientific Linux.

Given the permissions errors you mentioned upthread, I'm wondering whether
you're running on Red Hat/CentOS, and if so whether SELinux is preventing
apache from connecting to unexpected port numbers. I seem to recall
that there's a SELinux boolean specifically intended to allow or disallow
database connections from webservers, but I couldn't tell you the name
offhand.
