Follow the steps :-
1. Check mysqld is running or not
> /etc/init.d/mysql status
2. If not > /etc/init.d/mysql start
If error occurs , check the logs & usually this error means ur server is
not running at the moment.
Good Luck !

You have 2 options: use tcp/ip or find the right .sock file
use this:
mysql -uUSER -p -h127.0.0.1 -P3306
or check in the my.cnf where the server creates the .sock file
you have to use the same with the local client.
