I have been looking on the internet, and I can’t find someone with the same problem as this = everyone says that this occurs when they are running their local mysql on a different port. I am not, I am running a seperate server with a database that is networked through an internal network.

Does anyone know a workaround to stop magento using the MYSQL socket connection and force it to use the TCP protocol?

Thanks

Did you clean your cache? rm -rf var/cache
