Well, the message indicates it's trying to connect to MySQL through the
local Unix socket, not via TCP/IP. So either your configuration is
incorrect, or the package isn't using the configuration correctly.

So if you're sure it's correct, it's time to ask for help from the
support forums for your package. They're much more familiar with it
than any of us are.

In fact, when you're looking at packages like this, that should be your
first place to go for help - not a language newsgroup.
