Help! securing /tmp & /var/tmp broke mysql

Our host Help! securing /tmp & /var/tmp broke mysql (unnamed to protect their reputation) secured our /tmp & /var/tmp for us but broke mysql in the process.

Now, I have no idea what method they used to secure these dirs but nothing can connect to mysql.sock now. Here's the error:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/tmp/mysql.sock'
