RMySQL problem or php problem (no way out?)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

First, I would like to congratuate the project. It is a fantastic initiative. I 
hope to be able to use it and promote it soon...

My specific question is: How can I install concerto with Xampp (php, apache, 
mysql server) in ubuntu?

- The reasons of my problems:

* I am installing it with Xampp 1.8.2, that supports php v5.4, but when I try 
use RMySQL inside R with "dbConnect", it prints the message: "Failed to connect 
to database: Error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket 
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'".

* On the other hand, if I install mysql with "sudo apt-get install 
mysql-server" (instead of using xampp), the php version installed by ubuntu is 
5.5 (not supported by concerto).

I would like to use the excelent version 3.9 of concerto and wouldn't like to 
wait for version 5.

Please, someone could help me! I'm stuck on this problem for weeks...

Same problem with concerto 3 and concerto 4...

I forgot to say that when I install mysql from terminal with "sudo apt-get 
install mysql-server", the RMySQL works fine inside R. However, as I said, in 
this case, the problem moves to php 5.5 (not supported)...
