I'm running a php script from the command line (I'm on OS X) and I'm

touch /var/mysql/mysql.sock
chmod 777 /var/mysql/mysql.sock

   How could that possibly help?

Because if the mysql.sock file is missing the mysql server won't start. If the mysql server isn't running the PHP script won't work. So I think
it helps a lot.

    He didn't have trouble running the mysql server (in fact the
original message said the same script worked when run from apache).
    So even if the file was there mysql wouldn't listen on it.
