Mysql Restore

Here's a problem.....I uploaded lokirj_forums.tar into /var/lib/mysql and now my SQL died...

mysql has failed, please contact the sysadmin (result was "/usr/bin/mysqlshow: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)").

checked if there's mysql.sock in there and its gone too?? any clue how to make it run again? Umm any clue how to make the files writable and not read me only?

-C
