Dear Michael,
try CHMOD /var/lib/mysql/ (777 for the beginning). Run the MySQL server
with a different user (mysqld -u mysql, so it will run as user mysql).
If the socket still cannot be created, check if install_db has been
executed. If you don't have the grant tables, MySQL will not work.
Regards,
--
