[horde] how to make horde connects to mysql using TCP

[Antoine Jacoutot]

Hi !

I'm using horde-2.2.4 under OpenBSD-3.5 with chrooted apache.
As so, I was wondering if it was possible to tell horde not tu use a socket to 
connect to mysql but use tcp.

I have the following in my horde.conf:
$conf['prefs']['params']['phptype'] = 'mysql';
$conf['prefs']['params']['hostspec'] = 'localhost';
$conf['prefs']['params']['username'] = '*****';
$conf['prefs']['params']['password'] = '*****';
$conf['prefs']['params']['database'] = 'horde';
$conf['prefs']['params']['table'] = 'horde_prefs';

Unfortunately, this does not seem to work, I get the well know error:
DB Error: connect failed
[lign 108 /horde/lib/Prefs/sql.php]
...

netstat shows me this:
tcp        0      0  localhost.mysql        *.*                    LISTEN

So mysql is listening on tcp, it is just that horde is not contacting it using 
this protocol.

Do you have any idea how to change this behaviour or howto to make horde 
(php4-mysql) contact a mysql server when running inside chrooted apache ?
I don't want to use links for mysql.sock since I would have to recreate it all 
the time.

Thanks in advance.
