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

[theprincy]

mysqladmin --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf ping
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysql/mysqld.sock' (111)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysql/mysqld.sock' exists!


ls -asl /var/run/mysql/
totale 12K
4,0K drwxr-xr-x 2 mysql root 4,0K 29 nov 16:24 .
4,0K drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4,0K 29 nov 13:51 ..
4,0K -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 6 29 nov 16:23 mysqld.pid
0 -rw-r--r-- 1 mysql mysql 0 29 nov 16:24 mysqld.sock

...
