No mysql.sock

[Creativeinz]

Ok..
When I enter mysql start I get an error that it cannot connect to mysql.sock file.
I am wondering why this file is not being generated.
I have tried much and still no mysql.sock file and I get the error 2002 (HY000).

Anyone have any ideas please.

Because it is not 'mysql start.'
Mysql is the client not the server.
To start the server:
'service mysqld start'

Try uninstalling the rpms and re installing it.Sometimes this error also comes due to shrtage of space.
