Yes, incorrect permissions on the socket file or the directory containing it can prevent connections. Check the permissions using `ls -l /run/mysqld/mysqld.sock` (or the actual socket path). The MySQL user (usually 'mysql') needs read and write access to the socket file and execute permission on the directory.
