Application Vault use Incorrect mySQL socket

[Ernie@]

When accessing Tools & Settings > Application Vault, it gives the following error,

Internal error: [unixODBC][MySQL][ODBC 5.2(w) Driver]Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

File: aps_php.php
Line: 7536
Type: Exception

However, the mysql.sock is located at /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

How to correct the ODBC connector uses incorrect socket file?

You can create a symlink of /tmp/mysql.sock to /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

there's another error after creating the symlink:

[unixODBC][MySQL][ODBC 5.2(w) Driver]Access denied for user 'psaadm'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Please advise. Thanks.
