I have recently got the direct connection working. The steps were:
  select 'existng database' and MySQL
  'connect directly'
  select server/port and type in 'localhost' (the port 3306 is default)
  now select 'socket' and type in the socket address that mysqld gave
  you when you started it. That was unexpected because it looks as if
  server and socket are alternatives. 
My first try give the error 'can't access socket /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'
but mysqld actually said '/tmp/mysqld.sock'. 

good luck
