Hi sometimes mysql gets itself in a mess regarding the socks file.

do:
$ ps aux | grep my

to see if there is any mysql services running. If there are none, then you have to start it:
# /etc/init.d/mysql start

Edit /etc/my.cnf (or wherever my.cnf is) and change the "socket = ..." to socket = /tmp/mysql.sock" for the client [mysql] and the server [mysqld]. Of course you have to restart the server.
