Now keep an eye on MySQL because there are several things that have to be right:
permissions on /var/lib/mysql/
existance of /var/lib/mysql/mysql.socketsometimes MySQL is configured to place mysql.socket at /tmp/mysql.socket
and DBI looks for it at /var/lib/mysql/
that gives you the "cannot connecto to MySQL through socket"in that case, create soft link at /var/lib/mysql.socket pointing to /tmp/mysql.socket
the link returns a false to existance checking if the /tmp/mysql.socket is not there, so it works :)
Hopes that this doesn't show up, but if it does... that's already solved here :)
(Note... it this doesn't works check it is a permission problem on the MySQL

could be prevented with a test in makecat just after the clueless newbie
asks for SQL and doesn't have his/her DB driver module installed. I'm
installing DBI now - fingers crossed.Thanks for your patience and help.
