mysql down - please help

hi
as usual, cpanel updates and something breaks down.
MYSQL is not restarting anymore.

I am getting this error:

mysql status

/usr/local/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists! mysql has failed, please contact the sysadmin (result was "Warning, no valid mysql.sock file found.mysql has failed").

I tried recreating the mysql.sock file in /tmp by:

ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock


but didn't help,

I did different commands fixmysql mysqlup but no luck,

PLEASE help.

thanks.
