First try to find out where you socket is located:
# lsof -p {$PID_OF_MYSQL] |grep unix
mysqld 1277 root 4u unix 0xcb596580 1712 /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
And then point to this file in mysql conf file:
# more /etc/my.cnf
[client]
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
[mysqld]
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
(this config should startup mysqld with default socket to /var/lib/...)
