This is always the case as long as the webserver is running on the same
machine like the MySQL server! And if the servers are not running on the
same machine, the sockets will not work.

The MySQL documentation writes:

| A MySQL client on Unix can connect to the mysqld server in two different
| ways: By using a Unix socket file to connect through a file in the
| filesystem (default /tmp/mysql.sock), or by using TCP/IP, which connects
| through a port number. A Unix socket file connection is faster than
| TCP/IP, but can be used only when connecting to a server on the same
| computer. A Unix socket file is used if you don't specify a hostname or if
| you specify the special hostname localhost.

Did I miss something?
