Missing mysql.sock file

I am having a problem after doing some upgrades and having to reboot the server, I am not getting the

cannot connect to var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

if I look in var/lib/mysql there is no mysql, I looked also in the tmp directory also.

What is the best way to fix this? Reinstall mysql or is there an easy fix.

I am running Centos 3.3 with the lastest kernel and have upgraded also to the latest mysql.

when I try to restart mysql in whm I get no valid mysql.sock file..
