According to phpinfo(), my MYSQL_SOCKET is located at:
/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

I also ran a whereis to see if there were any others on my system, and 
there weren't:

$ whereis mysqld.sock
mysqld: /usr/sbin/mysqld

The problem seems to go beyond phpMyAdmin. I can't login to Zend 
Platform (returns the same error), nor can I start a mysql interface 
from the command line:

$ mysql -u root -p
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket 
'/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

Does this shed any more light on the problem?
