have googled this to death. solutions are not working.
so far have tried the whole linking mysql.sock to the file in /tmp, changing mysql root password, rebooting, adding socket parameters in my.cnf. nothing works!
any help would be incredibly appreciated.

| Just cd to /var/lib/mysql folder and check the permission.
Check if the owner and group is under the ownership of mysql user (ie if this the user which you have used to setup mysql).
