Hi,
 
Try using TCP/IP insted of socks connection. There should be a drop down box to select this.
 
Cheers

I found in horde mail list database (write in horde.php):

$conf['prefs']['params']['socket'] = '/path/to/mysql.sock';

where mysql, apache, services are working correctly, with:

# netstat -ptln |grep 3306
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:3306                0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN     7070/mysqld
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd status
httpd (pid 7106 7105 7104 7103 7102 7101 7100 7099 7096) is running...
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld status
mysqld (pid 7070) is running...

which versions of the programs are:
MYSQL:
# mysql -u horde -p horde
Enter password:
Your MySQL connection id is 3 to server version: 3.23.58

mysql> show tables;
