No, /tmp/mysql.sock does not exist. The mysql.sock file is 
in /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock (/home/mysql/mysq.sock). This path is mentioned 
in the PHP settings but apparently ASP uses a "/tmp/mysql.sock". The existing 
file is 0 bytes in size.

Where do I specify the socket path for Chili!ASP 3.6.2? I have been unable to 
find initialization files with this setting ...

Thanks in advance! Sorry for posting this to the security list even though 
there probably is no security concern in this issue. My bad.
