Re: mysql.sock location

[Kārlis Miķelsons]

    Broken record: linking only works until you restart the server
manually, as mysqld removes the socket and re-creates it when starting.
The location of the socket is configured in /etc/my.cnf.  To use mysql
with chrooted Apache / Nginx either use TCP connections, or set both
/etc/my.cnf and /var/www/etc/my.cnf to point to a place inside the
chroot jail.
Or even simpler solution, tell MySQL to use TCP connections instead of 
UNIX sockets by connecting to "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost".
