There is a possibility that this socket file belonged to RPM version of
MySQL but you are using some other MySQL binary which creates socket
file in different place. You can check where MySQL listens socket by
command "lsof -an | grep mysql" for example. You should see location of
socket. If not, then MySQL does not run at all.
