When I had this problem , on any environment, not specifically freeradius, the more quick solution was make a link of the actual path of the mysql sock to the path where this is expected ('/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' )

Subject: mysqld.sock path problem

freeradius can't connect to mysqld due to incorrect mysqld.sock path.

rlm_sql_mysql: Couldn't connect socket to MySQL server root@localhost:radius
rlm_sql_mysql: Mysql error 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through
socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'
rlm_sql (sql): Failed to connect DB handle #0

Actual path is /tmp/mysqld.sock.
Can I change path to mysqld.sock in freeradius?
