I believe there was a thread on this problem earlier this week or last.
Maybe the archives might produce something for you?

any mysql commands to connect or get status (i.e. mysqladmin version)
produce the following two lines:
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
chkconfig shows mysqld is on
ps -el shows safe_mysqld and mysqld are running
perhaps mysql.sock did not get opened ??
or, vmware interferes ??
or...
i'm at a loss...what do you think I should check? it used to work.
