I had the same problem with suse 7.2. I see that the path to mysql.sock
is /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. this location of mysql.sock was a leftover
from the mysql that i installed from the distribution. the downloaded
version though stores the mysql.sock in /tmp/mysql.sock - i had to tell
a few of my programs to look for it there. may you need to add a line in
your php program to look for it there
good luck
