The following occurs when running the Live version of GnackTrack, if you install from the LiveDVD this issue is no longer present. LiveDVD can be downloaded from www.gnacktrack.co.uk - this can be used to demonstrate issue but i think it's likely somethign simple
root@root:~# mysql ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) root@root:~# updatedb root@root:~# locate mysqld.sock /rofs/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock root@root:~# Snip of /etc/mysql/my.cnf (shortened to show sock location.)

What could i do to ensure that mysql can be connected to when running the LiveDVD? more output: root@root:~# mysql -h127.0.0.1 ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (111) root@root:~# mysql -S /rofs/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/rofs/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111) root@root:~#
