Subject: [Serusers] Mysql Connection Errors

Ok..I have setup SER according to the guide on the iptel site.
Here is a copy of what's in my ser.cfg

_________________________________________

#
# simple quick-start config script
#

# ----------- global configuration parameters ------------------------

debug=3          # debug level (cmd line: -dddddddddd)
fork=yes
log_stderror=no # (cmd line: -E)
check_via=no # (cmd. line: -v)
dns=no           # (cmd. line: -r)
rev_dns=no      # (cmd. line: -R)
port=5060
children=4
fifo="/tmp/ser_fifo"

# ------------------ module loading ----------------------------------

# Uncomment this if you want to use SQL database
loadmodule "//usr/lib/ser/modules/mysql.so"

loadmodule "//usr/lib/ser/modules/sl.so"
loadmodule "//usr/lib/ser/modules/tm.so"
loadmodule "//usr/lib/ser/modules/rr.so"
loadmodule "//usr/lib/ser/modules/maxfwd.so"
loadmodule "//usr/lib/ser/modules/usrloc.so"
loadmodule "//usr/lib/ser/modules/registrar.so"

# Uncomment this if you want digest authentication
# mysql.so must be loaded !
loadmodule "//usr/lib/ser/modules/auth.so"

# ----------------- setting module-specific parameters ---------------

# -- usrloc params --

#modparam("usrloc", "db_mode",   0)

# Uncomment this if you want to use SQL database
# for persistent storage and comment the previous line
modparam("usrloc", "db_mode", 2)

# -- auth params --
# Uncomment if you are using auth module
#
#modparam("auth", "secret", "alsdkhglaksdhfkloiwr")
modparam("auth", "calculate_ha1", yes)
#
# If you set "calculate_ha1" parameter to yes (which true in this config),
# uncomment also the following parameter)
#
modparam("auth", "password_column", "password")

# -------------------------  request routing logic -------------------

# main routing logic

route{

# initial sanity checks -- messages with
# max_forwars==0, or excessively long requests
if (!mf_process_maxfwd_header("10")) {
sl_send_reply("483","Too Many Hops");
break;
};
if (len_gt( max_len )) {
sl_send_reply("513", "Message too big");
break;
};

# Do strict routing if pre-loaded route headers present
rewriteFromRoute();

# if the request is for other domain use UsrLoc
# (in case, it does not work, use the following command
# with proper names and addresses in it)
if (uri=~"computergeeks.hopto.org") {

if (method=="REGISTER") {

# Uncomment this if you want to use digest authentication
if (!www_authorize("computergeeks.hopto.org", "subscriber")) {
www_challenge("computergeeks.hopto.org", "0");
break;
};

save("location");
break;
};

# native SIP destinations are handled using our USRLOC DB
if (!lookup("location")) {
sl_send_reply("404", "Not Found");
break;
};
};
# forward to current uri now
if (!t_relay()) {
sl_reply_error();
};

}

The modules are all where they say they are but when I try to start SER I get this in my messages log file

May 21 18:58:45 computergeeks ser: ser startup succeeded
May 21 18:58:45 computergeeks /usr/sbin/ser[13089]: connect_db(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
May 21 18:58:45 computergeeks /usr/sbin/ser[13089]: db_init(): Error while trying to connect database
May 21 18:58:45 computergeeks /usr/sbin/ser[13089]: mod_init(): Error while connecting database
May 21 18:58:45 computergeeks /usr/sbin/ser[13089]: init_modules(): Error while initializing module usrloc


Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?  I've searched all over the net for information on this...I'm sure it's something simple..but I'm overlooking it.

If I disable the Mysql integration is works perfect, so I'm thinking it has something to do with the mysql.so module?!?

Thanks
