Hi,
The error message 'Can't connect to MySQL throught socket '...'' 99% of the time means MySQL is not running.
If MySQL is running and you get this, then most likely MySQL has locked up, or less likely your mysql client tools are using a differt .sock file then your MySQL server. This can happen when you upgrade the server, but not the client tools (rpm upgrades), and things have changed.
To kill mysql, you can do a `killall mysqld` or to forcefully shut it down `killall -9 mysqld`. If you need the -9, then you should run isamchk to check your tables as the -9 is equivalant to just shutting the power off. MySQL has no chance to close tables and clean things up properly.
Cheers,
Alex
