I believe you need to change the socket to the location in your /etc/my.cnf
file.
I usually add both sections in it just to kep things straight.
[client]
socket=path-for-socket-file
[mysqld]
socket=path-for-socket-file
I used /ldata/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock
my.cnf isn't automatically there so you may have to create it.
then change
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket']= '';
to
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket']= 'path-used-in-my.cnf';
I am probably wrong, but its something that you can try without any danger
of screwing up everything.
If it doesn't work, simply remove the socket information and lines from the
my.cnf file.

Subject: phpMyAdmin/MySQL Question
Maybe someone else can come up with an answer for me on this question. I am
getting the following error when I try to run my index.php file. I think I
have configured it correctly, but obviously I haven't. And my host basically
told to go shove it.
Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.3.1-rc1
Error
MySQL said:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)
Does anyone have any suggestions on this one? My config file looks like
this in the areas I think I may have screwed up:
$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'http://www.iaacc.org/phpMyAdmin/';
$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri_DisableWarning'] = FALSE;
$cfg['PmaNoRelation_DisableWarning'] = FALSE;
/**
* Server(s) configuration
*/
$i = 0;
$i++;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket']= '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = '***';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '***';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['only_db'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['bookmarktable'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_info']= '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_comments'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowDeny']['order'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowDeny']['rules'] = array();
I have my login and password entered into the user/password area. Also, the
actually database is online at mysql.iaacc.org and that might be different.
If anyone can help, I would REALLY appreciate it.
Thanks
