[turba] Failed to access the address book: DB Error: connect failed

[Chris]

Thanks Kevin,

I did eventually figure out what the problem was, but I don't understand
why my directives didn't work. 

I was using mysql via tcp.  I forced it to use unix sockets, and shut
off networking.  I understood that I need to put the socket in the
chroot prison, but it was ignoring my my.cnf file and it even ignored it
when I hacked the mysqld_safe script.  I created my own startup script,
I put the socket in the chroot prison, and it works swimmingly.

Thank you.

Chris
