Hello,
This problem is well-known, and present in the bugzilla. The problem
lies in MySQL 5.0.26-r1, and many threads in the forums have been spawned.

Hi,
I am running Gentoo ~amd64 and I recently upgraded MySQL from
5.0.26 to 5.0.26-r1 and things are not working anymore (for example mythtv).
After spending a great deal of time looking at logs, changing
configuration files (namely, my.cnf), installing and de-installing
MySQL, I still cannot get any programs to connect to mysql, including
mysql_secure_installation which outputs the following error message:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
''/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'' (2)
But, here is the thing, the socket and pid file values in
/etc/mysql/my.cnf are set to the following:
[client]
socket = /tmp/mysqld.sock
.
.
[mysqld]
socket = /tmp/mysqld.sock
pid-file = /tmp/mysqld.pid
And, after re-starting the MySQL process (/etc/init.d/mysql restart) I
list the processes and find that the mysqld daemon has indeed been
passed the correct configuration values.
mysql24056 1 0 11:20 ?00:00:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld
--defaults-file=/etc/mysql/my.cnf --basedir=/usr
--datadir=/storage/mysql-db --pid-file=/tmp/mysqld.pid
--socket=/tmp/mysqld.sock
Could someone please help?
I know I am running ~arch and that this is perhaps part of the game
in doing that, but maybe it can be easily fixed...
Thank you,
- AR
