Configure MySQL server to use TCP connections instead of Unix sockets?

Comment out the option:
skip-networking
in the file:
my.cnf
which typically lies in the directory /etc or /etc/mysql.
Then restart your MySQL server:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql restart
or
/etc/init.d/mysql restart
with the command:
netstat -ta
you can check if MySQL is reachable via TCP.
