You have a busy system, with a default MySQL install ?
or you don't kill off the existing connections ?
MySQL defaults to 100 connections.
You'd get refused if there were more than 100 connections already open.

Check running processes, to see how many are currently using mysql (mysqladmin proc). Compare to "max_connections" (mysqladmin var). Change my.cnf (or whever your config file is) and restart mysql

Yahoo or google search:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket mysql.sock

Keep us posted.
