[Serusers] MySQL on different server

I'm trying to run SER with a MySQL setup. I want to put the SER on one server, and the MySQL on another server. I am using the following parameters in my ser.cfg. Why can't I get this working right? I've tried connecting using MySQL's client commands directly and it works. It seems to be only doing this on the authdb section, because I tried commenting the usrloc database commands out, and it still only produces one error message. So apparently usrloc's MYSQL connection IS working, just not authdb's. Thanks # Uncomment this if you want to use SQL database # for persistent storage and comment the previous line modparam("usrloc", "db_mode", 2) modparam("usrloc", "db_url", "mysql://ser:password@192.168.1.194/ser") # -- auth params -- # Uncomment if you are using auth module # modparam("auth_db", "calculate_ha1", yes) # # If you set "calculate_ha1" parameter to yes (which true in this config), # uncomment also the following parameter) # modparam("auth_db", "password_column", "password") modparam("auth_db", "db_url", "mysql://ser:password@192.168.1.194/ser") # -- rr params -- # add value to ;lr param to make some broken UAs happy modparam("rr", "enable_full_lr", 1) I get the following messages in my log file: Mar 20 15:32:17 sip1 /usr/local/sbin/ser[26794]: new_connection(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) Mar 20 15:32:17 sip1 /usr/local/sbin/ser[26794]: db_init(): Could not create a connection Mar 20 15:32:17 sip1 /usr/local/sbin/ser[26794]: group:mod_init(): Unable to connect database Mar 20 15:32:17 sip1 /usr/local/sbin/ser[26794]: init_mod(): Error while initializing module group
