That MySQL error message is probably where it thinks the tmp file should be on a Raq. That sounds pretty familiar.
You might need to 'kill' the server. Without the socket file, you can't connect to the server. I don't know why this happens, but it does. In general, I think the fix has been to just stop/restart MySQL and it fixes itself.
