[resolved] MySQL Socket

[root@website mysqld]# mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

The socket file doesn't exist, and when trying to start MySQL, I receive "MySQL Daemon cannot start".

Any idea why? I've tried removing/reinstalling MySQL but still getting that.
