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

Im not sure why I am getting this error but I only get it when trying to transfer sessions from 1 page to another i believe. Im not positive its the sessions but I think it could be. Im not the greatest at php yet so I am posting my scripts here to see what the experts say I should do to fix this problem.

Problem/error:

[code]Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)[/code]

Scripts:

login.php

[code]<?php
session_start();

header("Cache-control: private");

$user = $_POST['username'];
$pass = $_POST['password'];

include("db.php");

// Check to see if the user exists.

$sql_user_check = "SELECT username FROM users WHERE username='$user'";
$result_name_check = mysql_query($sql_user_check) or die(mysql_error());
$usersfound = mysql_num_rows($result_name_check) or die(mysql_error());

// If the user is not found note that and end.
if($usersfound < 1){
$error = "User ".$user." was not found in the database.";

$user = $_POST['username'];
$pass = md5($_POST['password']);
$sql = "select * from users where `username` = '$user'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
while ($text = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$id = $text['id'];
$password = $text['encrytpass'];
$access = $text['access'];
}
if ($pass == $password) {
$error = "Wrong Username / Password <a href=\"?act=login\">Back</a>";

// If the passwords do match, let in and go to the session variables.
}else{
$_SESSION['userid'] = $text['userid'];
$_SESSION['first_name'] = $text['first_name'];
$_SESSION['last_name'] = $text['last_name'];
$_SESSION['username'] = $text['username'];
$_SESSION['password'] = $text['password'];
$_SESSION['encryptpass'] = $text['encryptpass'];
$_SESSION['email'] = $text['email'];
$_SESSION['location'] = $text['location'];
$_SESSION['steamid'] = $text['steamid'];
$_SESSION['handle'] = $text['handle'];
$_SESSION['bio'] = $text['bio'];
$_SESSION['photo'] = $text['photo'];
$_SESSION['team_name'] = $text['team_name'];
$_SESSION['team_tag'] = $text['team_tag'];
$_SESSION['access'] = $text['access'];
$_SESSION['webs'] = $text['webs'];
$_SESSION['priv_message'] = $text['priv_message'];
}
}

if(!$_SESSION['username']){
if($error){
echo $error;
include("index.php");
}else{
header("Location: index2.php");
}
}else{
echo "<html><head><title>Welcome Back</title></head>Welcome back ". $_SESSION['username'] .".<a href=index2.php>Click here</a> to proceed.";
}
?>[/code]

index2.php

[code]<?php session_start();
header("Cache-control: private");
if($_SESSION['username']){
echo "You are logged in as:". $_SESSION['username'] ." ";
}else{
echo "You are not logged in. ";
}
$newpms = $_SESSION['priv_messages'];
if($newpms > "0"){
echo "<a href=?page=newpmessage=$id>Unread Messages</a> (". $newpms .") ";
}else{
echo "<a href=?page=pmessages=$id>Mailbox</a> <a href=?page=user_panel>User Panel</a> ";
}
?>[/code]
