Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’

so I ran:

find / -name mysql.sock

and it doesn’t show up, what should I do now? I’m using Mandrake 10.1 and this is the first time I’m using mysql. Should i try uninstalling mysql and reinstalling. I also noticed that there was an error file in

/var/lib/mysql

which had this in it:
