You've got to make one of them move:

$ grep ^sock my.cnf 
socket          = /tmp/mysql.sock

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysql-config-wizard-file-location.html

You can sym-link a mysql.sock, but that's duct-taping it, and it's
better system administration to have programs access it directly and
not create sym-links to patch it unless you have no other choice
(proprietary software for example which gnu-radius is not). Sergey
or someone will have to tell you where gnu-radius picks up the sock
locations for. I don't see an option in sqlserver to specify the sock
location.

Maurice, 3306 is the default/standard port. (Good to see you posting
again.)
