[kronolith] Alarm

That link refers to the same problem, but no solution.
But it is OK.
I got it!
It is a chroot jail issue (as I suspected). I will share my findings
for posterity.
My horde configruation points to /var/mysql/mysql.sock. Since I have
horde running in the chroot jail, this is fine -- but the script runs
from outside the jail, and looks for /var/mysql/mysql.sock and doesn't
find it, because in reality the socket is in /var/www/var/mysql/mysql.sock.
I created a symbolic link and it solved my problem: ln -s
/var/www/var/mysql/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock.
I do appreciate the help though. Thank you.
Chris.
Time flies?
