1) mysqld is already running, so there's already a socket. 2) mysql doesn't have permission to write to /tmp.
As you've eliminated #1, #2 is the likely problem. If so, you'll need to fix that. Run
chmod 1777 /tmp
as root (or with sudo).

I did a grep on any mysql processes, and none exist?
Any ideas?? THANKS!!!
