Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.lock' (2 "No such file or directory")

Hi all,

I have a CentOS 7 installation with MariaDB but it was instable so I upgraded to MariaDB v10.

After the reinstall of MariaDB I can't connect with the mysql server using localhost, only 127.0.0.1 is working.

I get the error:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.lock' (2 "No such file or directory")

I checked the /var/lib/mysql directory and there is no mysql.lock.
Permisions on the folder are on user mysql and group mysql.
Why is localhost not working as hostname for connection?
