still cannot start MySQL

I'm still having a problem starting MySQL. I get the following message: Unable to initialise database connection: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' I've check the /etc/mysql/my.cnf and the sock file is supposed to load in '/var/run/mysqld. Thanks
