Thank you Robert for the prompt response. 1) Yes, I do have /etc/my.cnf (644 permission) 2) I do have a bind-address directive but it was set to "127.0.0.0" by default. I even changed it to "127.0.0.1" and restarted MySQL; no luck. 3) my.cnf's socket file path and name in both [client] and [mysqld] are the same and have been set accordingly. I am still stumped as of why PHP cannot connect through Unix socket to MySQL!
