The web server is going to be using a different user than the 
command-line is. What user are you using on the command line to test? 
You may need to change the socket so that it is group-readable and then 
put the web-server user into that group (and re-start the web server).

It would be helpful if you sent over the output of the following command:
ls -l /tmp/mysql.sock
