Make sure that MySQL is actually running:

ps auxww | grep mysql

It's possible that your server has rebooted and MySQL has not 
restarted correctly.  There should be a startup script in 
/etc/rc.d/init.d that you can use to start the server.  Just use

/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start

If MySQL is definitely running, check the /tmp/ directory for the 
mysql.sock file.  If it is not there, check /var/lib/mysql/

If you find the mysql.sock file in /var/lib/mysql then I would 
imagine your MyODBC drivers need re-configuring.

Hope this is of some help,

Glen Scott.
