First of all, have you checked that mysql-server is actually running?
Quickest way other than the cli is open Activity Monitor & select `All
processes` & enter `mysqld` in the search box.

Or from the cli 'ps -ef | grep mysql'

If it isn't running, start the server. If it is running, it's because
mysqld can't find the required `mysqld.sock`. In which case re-starting
the server should automatically generate the mysqld.sock file.

Also if you enter `ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL
server through socket` in Google, you'll get about a million hits. It's
a very common problem when first installing/upgrading MySQL.

Cheers,
