missing mysqld.sock and mysqld in /etc/init.d

I tried today to connect to MySQL server and saw that I did'nt have any mysqld.sock anymore, nowhere.

I tried several ways to get it back, but unsuccessfull. I tried to execut a ./mysqld.start in /etc/init.d, but it's also missing.

Should I reinstall mysql, or is there a way to get a socket back ?

@Nueva, if that doesn't work, reboot the system. I just had an Ubuntu build on EC2 lose its mysqld.sock file, and a simple reboot solved the problem.

Failing that, I've also heard that forcing the connection via tcp instead of localhost has worked for some people. I tried that, but got nothing.
