Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (11)

[Stephan Craft]

I use mysql 3.5 years and recently I have a very frustration problem!
Here’s what I get from time to time:
SQL error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (11)
SQL error code:
Date: Monday 14th of July 2008 10:06:25 PM

I try to increase - max_connections=1000, but nothing…
In /etc/my.cnf file mysql.sock direction is right.

[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

someone write that it can be because of the localhost, so I try this
bind-address=My-Server-IP

but still this error appears((

I notice another thing, when my DB size was over 2GB, I start to get this error… maybe this is a coincident I don’t know.

this is mysql status:
