ok. so the location of mysql.sock is a problem. I found it at /tmp/mysql.sock Why is the CLI looking for it at /var/myslq/mysql.sock? Now the question is...

Re: [PHP] php cli and mysql
Run this command: /path/to/cli/php -i|grep MYSQL_SOCKET What does that show? It sounds like the PHP module for Apache is using a different php.ini file then the CLI version. It also looks like the CLI versions php.ini is not pointing to the proper path to the mysql.sock. Look under the mysql section of your php.ini and fix that up. To see where its pointing, do this: /path/to/cli/php -i|grep php.ini That'll tell you where the php.ini file is for the CLI version. Enjoy.

You could make a new php.ini for flexibility like Jochem stated. To make things easy, just copy the file over: cp /usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini /etc/php.ini And that should do it.
