Sounds more like that your MySQL is not running or it does not have the sock file that its looking for. I would definatly check to see if the sock file that its requesting actually exists first.
The error (2002) Can't connect to ... normally means that there is no MySQL server running on the system or that you are using an incorrect Unix socket file name or TCP/IP port number when trying to connect to the server. You should also check that the TCP/IP port you are using has not been blocked by a firewall or port blocking service
Check this out may help you
