Nice to see I'm not the only one working on Saturday. :-)

You need to install the mysql-devel package.
Hmmm...OK. Why? (just for my understanding). Again, never had this problem with RH7.3...

Did you actually look in your php.ini? Because there is an entry there just for this purpose.
I did, and saw several (many!) options related to mySQL, but wasn't sure what to do with them. The one that seems most related to the 'socket' issue is
; Default socket name for local MySQL connects. If empty, uses the built-in ; MySQL defaults. mysql.default_socket =
Do I simply change this to
mysql.default_socket=/var/lib/mysql
Thanks again...
