David,
Check 'mysql.default_socket' in your php.ini file, and 'socket' in your my.cnf
file. They need to match.
Also, what are the mod flags for the socket? They should be 'srwxrwxrwx'.
Finally - stop MySQL and delete the socket (if it isn't deleted when you stop
MySQL). Restart MySQL and see if it's recreated. This will prove the socket is
not left over from a previous run, i.e. if MySQL crashed.
