I had the same problem.
Ensure that /var has these permissions: drwxr-xr-x
Ensure /lib is drwxr-xr-x
Ensure /mysql is drwxr-xr-x
That fixed it for me

Subject: ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)
Hi,
Since SuSE 7.1 I experience the following problem using MySQL:
andreaso@php4win:~ > mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)
Looks like I don't get a connection...
andreaso@php4win:~ > su
Password:
root@php4win:/home/andreaso > mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 1 to server version: 3.23.32-log
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer
mysql>
Works as root...
And I think I didn't have that problem while using SuSE 7.0
Permissions on mysql.sock are as follows:
root@php4win:/home/andreaso > ls -la /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
srwxrwxrwx 1 mysql daemon 0 Feb 28 08:59
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
This is really bugging me since a week now and I couldn't find a
solution yet. I would really appreciate if someone could help.
Cheers,
Andreas
