Mat, Maybe following link could help you: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Can_not_connect_to_server.html. It's part of the mySQL online manual.
Some tinme ago I had the same problem. Helas, I couldn't find the notes how I solved it exactly, but I read a reference to the mySQL online Manual. I'll hope it wil help you too. Succes, Peter van der Post system: MacOS X 10.1.5, mySQL installed through fink
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists!
