With the path to the socket set as above, I got "access denied" and "is another server running" kind of messages. It was a permissions problem, but I couldn't quite figure out what permissions to set correctly (why didn't the installation change the permissions automatically?).

I then changed the socket file path to /tmp/msyqld.sock and all is well.
