Shut down and restart the mysql server. You might need to _KILL_ it, since you can't connect without the .sock file.
If you can't manage to _KILL_ the server and restart it, then you'll have to restart the physical server.
Obviously you are not on a virtual host, or you shouldn't be seeing that error -- your ISP has dropped the ball and their database server is dead :)
