I was just playing with MySQL a bit within the last few weeks, but
moved on to PostgreSQL.  Not an option for what you're doing though.

Check that the MySQL daemon is actually  running.   Also check the
MySQL log file, plus the file you listed above.

You'll probably find the answer in the log file or at MySQL-specific
web pages on the 'net.

The  mysql.sock file most likely lists the TCP socket that MySQL is
listening on.  If the daemon isn't actually running that could be
the problem.
