NWNX OBDC Not connecting on Linux 2.6

[Ansalon]

I have tried pretty much everything here..so my last ditch effort to go back to a NWN1 Server on Linux is here.
(Currently running it under Windows XP since I couldnt get NWNX to run under current linux)

I'm pretty well versed in Linux. Stats below

Running Slackware 12.1 (Linux 2.6.27.7-smp)

The Problem:
from nwnx_odmbc.txt
NWNX2 ODBC2 version 0.3 for Linux.
(c) 2005-2006 by dumbo (dumbo@nm.ru) & virusman (virusman@virusman.ru)
o SCO located at 82d9c44.
o RCO located at 82d9b60.
! Error while connecting to database: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
o Shutdown.
-----------------------

The database connects fine with my perl scripts and with PhPMyAdmin

Change server=localhost to server=127.0.0.1

There's a socket parameter too. For example:

[ODBC]
socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

Did you checked that your sock-file is there?
But yeah, setting it to IP will ignore the socket.
