Ok, then that was the problem.

Also, the default value for "connect_type" in the config.inc.php
file is "tcp". So it sounds like 127.0.0.1 should have been set for
"host" anyway...?
I understand that the default connect_type in phpMyAdmin's config file
is "tcp", but when you request a TCP connection to the hostname
"localhost", MySQL will connect on a socket. This is described in the
MySQL documentation here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/connecting.html
"On Unix, MySQL programs treat the host name localhost specially, in a
way that is likely different from what you expect compared to other
network-based programs. For connections to localhost, MySQL programs
attempt to connect to the local server by using a Unix socket file.
[...] To ensure that the client makes a TCP/IP connection to the local
server, use --host or -h to specify a host name value of 127.0.0.1, or
the IP address or name of the local server."
