Selva - this can indicate that either mysql.sock is owned by the wrong user
(it should either be root or mysql on most machines) or that it is not
located in the correct place. The mysql.sock that you refer to is PROBABLY
a link to the 'real' mysql.sock located in another directory. It could be a
recursive link, or just linked to a non-existant file. FIND for mysql.sock
on your machine and see how many places it lives, then verify that the one
giving the error (/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock) is linked to the 'real' one.
This may NOT be your issue, but it happened on our box after a reload of
MySQL. Good luck!
