new insallation, can't connect to mysql.sock error

Do yourself a favor and edit out your server info from that post.

The server and port info in config.php looks correct, it just seems that that client call is undefined in your server's MySQL setup.

Actually, drop the http:// from the MasterServer line, that could indeed be the root of all evil, since http on that box is listening on port 80, and you're trying to connect via httpd on port 3306.
