    It's the first time I experienced this.

    Error connecting to MySQL: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (255)

    Restarting MySQL through WHM solved the problem. I am just wondering what caused it in the first place.

    Look at the SQL server logs?

    After I restarted it I totally forgot to do that. Thought someone might know. It's a common error. If it happens again I will check out what caused it.

    ** You mean I still can look it up?

    You should be, unless you have set the logs to expire after reboot / shutting down the server. If I look at my Apache log right now, I have entries back to april... :D (Need to clean that shit up)
