No it was creating it in /var/lib/mysql but then PHP doesn't like this
Thanks to you, we've managed to get it working using the following
commands...
mysqladmin shutdown
safe_mysqld --user=root --socket=/tmp/mysql.sock &
This works but would you happen to know how I can get NySQL to create
the socket in /tmp/ at startup? (rather than having to shut it down and
reboot with a new socket)
