Default Re: MySQL Socket error
Like many people, you enabled as much repos as possible. And updated mySQL from 5 to 5.1
Now path- and fileconventions have changed the places where the MySQL config files are, therefor the error.
Start the software installer, remove the repo, search for mySQL, update all unconditionally, and you're back to mySQL 5. Reboot to make sure all services are restarted. Should be working now; I can reproduce the whole thing and fix it.

Please let us know how you got on.

REMARK: It is clearly stated on opensuse.org that the packages from the Database repo are experimental.
