[imp] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket

[Doug Curtis]

I had to cheat and make a symbolic link to /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock in /tmp.  
I have two different servers and I didn't have to on one server but I did on 
another.  They were both install using RPM's so I'm not sure what I did on the 
one server.
