try 127.0.0.1 instead, just a thought - shouldnt make any difference.
if your php was jailed it might as it would now use TCP instead of a
socket. have you checked whether you can telnet 127.0.0.1 3306 from the
command line as well?

it might sound strange but if you grab the phpmyadmin zip, and extract
it somewhere, end edit the config.inc.php with your defaults for mysql,
all the problems you will encounter will show up as human readable
(explained) error messages, and things get clickable reducing the
wastage of time.
you must make sure though that you take steps to protect the phomyadmin
directory if you plan to make things public later.
