That may sound like a stupid question, but are you absolutely sure
that MySQL is running? Most people reporting a missing socket file
simply don't have MySQL running for the one or another reason.
If it runs and you did not start it with --skip-networking, try
connecting by specifying -hyour_database_host. This will use a TCP/IP
socket instead. If this works, you can look with
mysqladmin -hyour_database_host variables
where the MySQL daemon thinks that the socket should be. If it's not
there you may want to simply restart your server.
Bye,
