It means you have no local socket for mysql to connect through. Meaning,
something/someone either deleted or mangled /tmp/mysql.sock or mysqld
isn't running to begin with.
Try to connect with the -host flag to connect (so it won't use the socket)
and shutdown and try to restart the mysqld - hopefully this will recreate
mysql.sock
Take care,
