I have been trying (with NO success) to get MiniVend to connect and use
MySQL as a database, but MiniVend just keeps coming back with can't
connect with local MySQL server, when I try and re-start MiniVend.

The actual error is:

Configuring catalog webways...webways config error: businesses: Can't
connect to local MySQL server through socket '
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)

webways: error in configuration. Skipping.
webways: config error. Skipping.

The line in the catalog.cfg reads:

Database        businesses    businesses.asc
dbi:mysql:minivend:localhost:3333

I have set up the table "businesses" in the database "minivend" and
performed various commands, getting correct answers.
Also I can't see a file called "mysql.sock" in the directory
/var/lib/mysql/ but there is a file allmost identical called
"=mysql.sock" with zero size?

Please, please, please help ASAP

Thanks in advance

Roger
