Yeah, that was the thing, thanks!

Actually I looked at the permissions, but the socket file had 777, but
the directory is 700 and owned by mysql:root.

If I experimentally chowned the directory to www-data and it works.
Which is strange as the mysql command line client connects via socket,
too when not given a hostname, I believe, and it works well when run
as a normal user.

Anyway, thanks for the pointer.
