it because my HD was out of space!

check with df -h if you have a space.

what happen is that mysql tried to create the socket file, but there is no space so it dosent worked !

or you can try this

cd /var/lib/mysql
touch mysql.sock
chown mysql:mysql mysql.sock
chmod 1777 mysql.sock

now make a sym link into /tmp

ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp
then
chmod 1777 /tmp

now
/scripts/mysqlup –force

now just restart mysql
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql restart

If you are using MySql 5.5 ,Then do the following
1. mv /etc/my.cnf /etc/my.cnf.bkp
2. /scripts/mysqlup –force
3. /etc/init.d/mysql restart

After you checked:

1- Server is up and running.
2- You aren’t typing the wrong password.
3- If you have more than one MySQL server on your system.

I did a post on this same problem My problem was solved, but in my case I used to have also LAMPP installed and that was the conflicting issue.

I’ve noticed a lot of people coming across this problem and I’ve seen many unresolved questions floating around. Many times this occurs after a system reboot where mysql/mysqld is not started once the reboot is complete. A fix I came across:

# chkconfig –list mysqld
mysqld 0 : off 1 : off 2 : off 3 : off 4 : off 5 : off 6 : off

# chkconfig mysqld on

# chkconfig –list mysqld
mysqld 0 : off 1 : off 2 : on 3 : on 4 : on 5 : on 6 : off

# /sbin/reboot

——
Wait for reboot to complete

Then, to check that mysql is working properly
——

# mysql -u root -p

# /etc/init.d/mysqld status

I hope this helps someone.

I got this issue, the server was full.
I erased some files and it worked fine as always.
