hi, Firstly stop mysql then do following : first check max_connection in my.cnf , it should not be more than 256, general setting should be 150. and include this line in my.cnf : socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock then remove mysql.sock file from /tmp/mysql.sock and /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock then symlink this files : Try ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock after doing this step restart mysql. your issue will be solve. basically the mysql.sock errors comes due to the database connections not matching properly. you need to check the my.cnf file properly. check the max connection , then the max database connection. generally there are lots of request from the users and the basic settings doesnt match. the sock error appears.
