Therein lies your problem: you can't connect to /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock if it doesn't exist :o)
RedHat was notorious for putting mysql.sock in /tmp/ ... perhaps check that path to see if the socket file exists there, and do one of the following:
(a) symlink it to /var/lib/mysql:
ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
-OR-
(b) modify your MySQL configuration (check for /etc/my.cnf):
under the "[mysqld]" heading:
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
... set that path and filename to wherever your mysql.sock file lives.
You could try using:
locate mysql.sock
... to find the file for you as well.
