[Quoted] Does YOUR user ID have the filesystem permission to reach the mysql [Quoted] socket file listed in whichever of those configs is active? Since sudo works, but your normal user ID doesn't, it's very likely an "OS permissions" issue somwhere rather than a straight-up MySQL configuration problem.
