[Asterisk-Users] cdr_mysql: cannot connect

[asterisk at kcwebpro.net]

I don't know if I have something screwed up with my MYSQL installation/Asterisk install or a bad
configuration.  I have imported the tables into a MYSQL database residing on localhost.  I have
check permissions on the user as well as the password and I have the same error comin up.  I have
succesfully connected to the database remotely and with MYPHPAdmin with the same setting below is a
copy of my cdr_mysql.conf

[global]
hostname=192.168.2.9
dbname=asteriskcdr
user=asteriskcdr
password=<password>
port=3306
sock=/tmp/mysql.sock


The error I am getting is:
ERROR[1209214400]: File cdr_mysql.c, Line 71 (mysql_log): cdr_mysql: cannot connect to database
server localhost.  Call will not be logged.

I am also getting this message though it might be unrelated:
WARNING[1142106560]: File chan_sip.c, Line 435 (retrans_pkt): Maximum retries exceeded on call
