Shooting[trouble] tips: Does 'cat /etc/my.cnf |grep socket' confirm the path to the sock for both server and client? Should be yes if it was running before. Does 'ps -auxwww |grep mysqld' say something's running? Does 'mysqladmin -p status' confirm that the server running? Check the log for why the server may have stopped. In a pinch, restart the server. Usually works unless there's some more fundamental problem.
