Empty database output within CI

Well, this here problem is basically not a CI related one, but strange thing is that CI couldn't track this error. Here's what was going on:

While installing php I haven't specified --with-mysql-socket parameter and it looks like php tried to use a /tmp/mysql.sock (default one) which obviously was not specified in my.cnf. So CI tried to bind to a nonexistent socket. Changing mysql params in a php.ini solved the problem.
