Based on your ps information, the socket will likely be in the /usr/local/mysql/data/my.cnf file under the [mysqld] area. Another way to tell if there is a socket open for the server would be to use netstat -a | grep 330 Which would show a line similar to this: tcp 0 0 *:3307 *:* LISTEN with the port I'm using {3307} showing up as currently in use, tcp protocol with a listener {LISTEN} connected to the socket. Hopefully the port specified in the my.cnf will show on the netstat output as described above.
