At some point, Unix-domain sockets were made modular. Double-check your configuration, making sure that you enable these. Can anyone explain the rationale behind making sockets optional? It is churning up a lot of support questions..
Perhaps the config "help" function ought to make mention of the various critical daemons and applications which fail utterly in the absence of Unix sockets?
