Should work fine.

When you set up your sql settings (anywhere, but in particular in 
horde/config/horde.conf or horde/config/conf.php, which ever is in 
horde 2.2) be sure to specify the socket and/or protocol info. 

The means you have a missing or misconfigured socket and/or protocol parameter
value in the params block(s) in you configuration files.

Unless you are trying to use unix sockets rather than tcp/ip connections, set
the socket value to '' (meaning no value), and/or set the protocol value to 'tcp'.

> $conf['sessionhandler']['params']['password'] = 'myhordepassword';
> $conf['sessionhandler']['params']['database'] = 'horde';
> $conf['sessionhandler']['params']['table'] = 'horde_sessionhandler';

Add sockets to the above, and maybe protocol if needed.
