As said, there is no php.ini loaded (AFAIK). There is no php.ini at the 
path phpinfo() shows.

I know that, but what I would like to know is why PDO_MYSQL does not 
connect to the MySQL-Server using TCP/IP (localhost:3306), as I 
specified, but instead uses a socket-adress which seems to be compiled 
into the mysql library.
