The error message says you were trying to connect with
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'
and your ps output of the mysql process shows that the socket it is using is
--socket=/tmp/mysql.sock
A possible solution would be to start mysql with the option --socket=path where
path
is the correct path given in with your ps output.

I did this and it worked how do I make the socket change permanent?
