fcgi pdo_mysql connect problem

["Antti Holvikari" <anttih@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I installed lighttpd, fastcgi and php 5.2RC6. I can't get the fastcgi
php to connect to mysql with pdo. If I run

php -r "new PDO('mysql:unix_socket=/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock;dbname=dbname',
'root', '');"

..it works. But when I try to connect to mysql with fcgi (hitting my
script with browser) I get a:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message
'SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through
socket '/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock' (13)'

I can also connect with:

> mysql5 --socket=/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock -u root

...from the command line.

I'm pulling my hear with this. Do you have any clues what could be wrong?
