Similar for me. Except that I can do all the usual SQL stuff as root but if
I try and access via PHP I get the '/tmp/mysql.sock' missing message.
Is a complete re-install of MySQL the only solution or is there something
else that can be done to solve this problem, which, from scanning archives,
is not an uncommon one.
