[Zero_]

hey
i followed this tutorial to setup Zabbix

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_9XMcuYk5Q

except the network interface (the second interface) configuration part where i chosed private network to obtain the right ip address(192.168.x.x), so i tried logging into the web interface (ipaddress/zabbix) and tada, i got this message Zabbix is temporarily unavailable!
mysql_connect(): [2002] No such file or directory (trying to connect via unix:///var/run/mysql/mysql.sock) [include/db.inc.php:77]
mysql_connect(): No such file or directory [include/db.inc.php:77]

Something wrong with mysql.
Do just like this:
ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock
It'd be OK!

I set socketin my.cnf but zabbix didn't get it from my.cnf.
Why?

PHP uses the value in php.ini for "mysql.default_socket" to find the socket location for MySQL.
