Amarok and socket-problem

[mintlars]

Hey all!

Recently I've been looking for a way to sync my Amarok playcounts with my last.fm account and found this app: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php...content=127016

It should do all I want and some more, but I'm having problems getting it to run. Reading on the comments on kde-apps, I ran this script in the amarok-folder to get a socket:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/mysqld --defaults-file=`pwd`/my.cnf --default-storage-engine=MyISAM --datadir=`pwd`/mysqle --socket=`pwd`/sock --skip-grant-tables --skip-innodb

...and I got a socket. However, when I try to run klastfm now I get this:

Cannot connect to the database. Check config/config.yaml

The commentators on kde-apps aren't giving me any help here, and I can't find any googling it either. Does anyone know what's going on here, and what I should do to solve it? Thanks in advance.
