you may need to update the locate database. this is typically done w/ the

right, well if your report from the other day is accurate then it sounds
like you have sockets setup in the web environment and not the cli. if the
browser page is blank it could be b/c your not outputting anything from your
script to the browser.

run updatedb first before running locate and see if it's there or not. im
not sure how phpinfo() could possibly have reported sockets as being enabled
if you were missing sockets.so.

im not much for red hat, do they even use yum on that system or is it still
rpm? on a centos box we have a quick search turns up a sockets package,
however if you built from source, i doubt that's how you want to install
sockets support at this point.
$ yum search php | grep -i socket
php-pear-Net-Socket.noarch : Network Socket Interface
also dude, it sounds like your admin is struggling... these questions are
the sort an admin would be expected to answer pretty much anywhere ive ever
worked. like, how do i install software on the os im responsible for ..
OUCH!
