 * Hi Tim,
 * I only showed that as an example. I have a separate user that I granted “All 
   Privileges” to. I can shell in using the command line no problem with the other
   user I created. In addition, I have already created the database, and dumped 
   the database from production to local. I know for a fact that my database is 
   setup correctly. This is just the first WordPress project I’ve had the pleasure
   of working on.
 * The latest thing I’ve tried is this, but this still doesn’t work.
 * > define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost:/tmp/mysqld.sock’);
 * Could there be some permissions problems? I don’t see how this could be the case,
   but not sure.
