phpBB2 installs, and runs properly on this server, with no problems.  Phpinfo tells me that the socket is correct.  I can log into mysql through telnet with no problems.

Works fine.  Now have a problem with integration with phpBB2, but can fix that somehow.  

Thanks for the help.  Looks like a great product, much improved since I last looked at it.
