[Koha] installer.pl on FDC3

[kent]

Hello,
I've been trying to install Koha database on a FDC3 machine running Apache. The
database server is running on another server running RedHat 8.0. I am having
problems creating the connection to the MySQL server. I run the installer.pl,
all goes well till I get to the Database host where I put in the IP address.

Creating the MySQL database for Koha...
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
256ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket

Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'
exists!

The above is what I get when it get's to the databse creation part. It appears
that it is trying to connect to the localhost instead of the remote MySQL
server. Any suggestions?
