Make sure you have a /etc/my.cnf with at least:

[client]
socket=/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock

[mysqld]
socket=/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock

or whatever path you consider "safe" for the socket to be reside in since
it will have 777 permissions, chown /etc/my.cnf to the user running the
MySQL server.

Hope that helps you.
