Hi, MySQL will create the socket when it starts but it may not be in the /tmp folder. I have found that some programs expect the socket to be in /tmp whilst others expect it to be in the mysql directory. I find best solution to this problem is to start mysql, then create a symbolic link in the /tmp directory to the socket: ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock This works on my systems, you may have to adjust to your own environment.
