Could anybody help with the following phpMyAdmin problem:

I still get the following message when I start phpMyAdmin (several
versions):

#2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is
not correctly configured)
Warning: Unknown(): open(/tmp/sess_fbb7137293b2867257c31f226b23f109, O_RDWR)
failed: Permission denied (13) in Unknown on line 0
Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that
the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on
line 0

Directory tmp exists and it's writable to everybody:
ls -ld /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 282 root root 19008 2006-04-10 14:15 /tmp

php.ini is ofcourse the next one to suspect:
but it contains correct entries:

[Session]
; Handler used to store/retrieve data.
session.save_handler = files
....
session.save_path = /tmp

Connecting with the separate mysql client program Mysql Administrator
installed with suse gives no problems, so mysql is correct installed.
phpinfo also works fine.
Any other ideas are more than welcome.
