Hi there,
Do a find command...:
%find / -name "mysql.sock"
Then when you start safe_mysqld do it with the switch :
%./safe_mysqld -S /whatever/the/path/mysql.sock
And it should work.

This is an FAQ. Check that the mysql server is running and that the socket
file is in the right place with the correct permissions.
