Apache shouldn't have rights to db file. My guess is that PHP is trying
to make direct (local) connection, and then it fails. You should connect
to database with something like 'LOCALHOST:/path/to/db/file' to make
sure it "goes" through TCP/IP stack. That way it would be like
connecting from some other machine in the network, and system users are
important anymore.

What it your exact connection (database path) string?
