In some circumstances you may want to use a Unix socket to connect to the database: for example, if networking is disabled in MySQL.
To do this, use a setting like this in your config.php:
define('DATABASE_HOST', 'unix_socket:/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock');
making sure the second parameter is unix_socket: then the correct path to the socket.
