Is your MySQL server running?

If your MySQL is not running, you should start mysqld.

If your MySQL server is running then you should check location of
the socket file and check the socket path in your my.cnf file.

Check your privileges on the socket file and on the dir that contains socket file.
You can find the description of this error at:
    http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/a/Can_not_connect_to_server.html

Please also tell us, how exactly did you installed MySQL on Cobalt server as there are 
some specific details. Have you compiled MySQL by yourself or took a binary 
distribution?
