See also http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/option-files.html, and check
any of the mentioned files for 'socket' definitions:
File Name Purpose
/etc/my.cnf Global options
/etc/mysql/my.cnf Global options (as of MySQL 5.1.15)
SYSCONFDIR/my.cnf Global options
$MYSQL_HOME/my.cnf Server-specific options
defaults-extra-file The file specified with --defaults-extra-file=path, if
any
~/.my.cnf User-specific options
