SourceForge.net mySQL Server Connection Failure

[Lenny D]

If anybody has any experience SF.net's mySQL server, your help would
be greatly appreciated. When I try to connect to the DB install
Movable Type (http://www.movabletype.org/) I get the following error
message:

Connection error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

I think the socket may be located elsewhere (not at
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock',) but I cannot find the true location in
SF's documentation. If anybody has recieved such a message and has
solved the problem, please post what was done.

Thanks in advance
