Compiled C++ and Mysql codes run in python cgi script

[Larry Bates]

mysql.sock is a normally a symbolic static link
(normally located in /tmp directory) that is used
to communicate with MySQL.  I suspect that when
you run under web interface, you don't have proper
access rights to that directory for the program
to communicate via this socket interface.
