MySQL Upgrade - ERROR: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (2)

Recently I upgraded MySQL on one of our server.
After the upgradation, I received the following error while connecting to MySQL.

Quote:

ERROR: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (2)

I tried editing the /etc/my.cnf file, but it was in vain.

Finally to fix the issue, I did the following:
Moved the my.cnf file to bkp and then forced MySQL to update.

Code:

mv /etc/my.cnf /etc/my.cnf.bkp
/scripts/mysqlup --force

Normally, the above fix will work for allmost all the issues related to MySQL connectivity.[/quote]
