I seem to recall hearing of this before, and the problem was that the forum
could not connect to the database. So, what happens when you try to manually
connect to the database with the mysql command-line client?

If that works, check to see if the forum expects the MySQL socket to be
somewhere it is not. You may even create a link from /tmp/mysql.sock to
wherever it is as a test.

Hope that helps.

Chris
