MySQL problem >> missing mysql.sock

MySQL on my server is down....

I figured out that the mysqld process isn't running. When I try to run it, it says it can't find mysql.sock

Any suggestions?

Here's what I can't do:
can't be root
don't have physical access (do stuff via SSH)
reinstall MySQL (need to keep the current MySQL databases)

I would also like if someone could post their mysql.sock file, I think that manually creating one will work. Also, I don't want to do touch mysql.sock to create the file because I think that wouldn't work.
