With MySQL 4.0 when I wanted to run my application on any of the unix boxes I 
had to set the MYSQL_UNIX_PORT environment variable to point to the location of 
my socket file.  Looking through my 4.1.9 install I no longer see a 
mysql/socket directory.  

However, when I try to connect I get the error:

ERROR: Error trying to establish connection: Can't connect to local MySQL 
       server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

Where did it go?  Is it no longer needed?

Thanks for any information.

Barbara
