Is it possible to connect to MySQL via a unix socket?
If so, what would be the exact db_dsnw example when my.cnf is set to...
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
and my current config/db.inc.php contains...
$rcmail_config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysql://rcadmin:XXXXXXX@localhost/roundcubemail';
localhost IS unix-socket 127.0.0.1 is TCP/IP
"Unix sockets" is sometimes understood to refer to something else: sockets in the AF_UNIX address family, rather than AF_INET.
The contact points for Unix sockets are not network addresses, but rather paths in the file system, often placed in /tmp or /var/tmp by convention.
A pair of unnamed, connected sockets can also be created with the socketpair function.
