Hi Megha,

do you verified that the mysql database is accessible at the system, using
the mysql client? Perhaps there is a misconfiguration on your system,
causes eg. that only access over a certain network interface is possible.
The empty  socket file that is present on your system is ok.

Cheers,

Henning
