Mysql.sock Problem ( mysqld.sock' (2) )

[theprincy]

I have this problem on a server, I have unsuccessfully tried all the solutions that are being asked to be here on the forum and on google, I changed the settings in the my.cnf file on the socks but nothing has changed ... files below my.cnf, and mysql.err mysql.info

Code:

# This will be passed to all mysql clients
# It has been reported that passwords should be enclosed with ticks/quotes
# escpecially if they contain "#" chars...
# Remember to edit /etc/mysql/debian.cnf when changing the socket location.
[client]
port            = 3306
socket          = /var/run/mysql/mysqld.sock

# Here is entries for some specific programs
# The following values assume you have at least 32M ram

# This was formally known as [safe_mysqld]. Both versions are currently parsed.
[mysqld_safe]
socket          = /var/run/mysql/mysqld.sock

# Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on
# localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure.

# The following can be used as easy to replay backup logs or for replication.

#       other settings you may need to change.

#
# * BerkeleyDB
#
# Using BerkeleyDB is now discouraged as its support will cease in 5.1.12.
skip-bdb
#
# * InnoDB
#
# InnoDB is enabled by default with a 10MB datafile in /var/lib/mysql/.
# Read the manual for more InnoDB related options. There are many!
# You might want to disable InnoDB to shrink the mysqld process by circa 100MB.
#skip-innodb
#
# * Security Features
#
# Read the manual, too, if you want chroot!
# chroot = /var/lib/mysql/
#
# For generating SSL certificates I recommend the OpenSSL GUI "tinyca".

# * IMPORTANT: Additional settings that can override those from this file!
#   The files must end with '.cnf', otherwise they'll be ignored.

/var/log/mysql.log 0 byte

/var/log/mysql.err 0 byte

Note also if file my.cnf , you can see a different address mysql always just look in '/var/run/mysqld/ the file socks , how can it be?

I tried to kill the process, but reboots itself
