[imp] Please help with this thing!

Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
 '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) in db_mysql.inc on line 73

this error occured for me when I started mysql with the socket connection in
a wrong place (file : mysql.sock)
see the configurations files for /tmp/mysql.sock , or
/usr/lib/mysql/mysql.sock ... you must have one in a place when you started
mysqld (see --help for creating a socket in another place).
see imp/docs/manual.html
and IMPORTANT the file /etc/my.cnf witch contains the path of the socket.
