Assuming it is, confirm the location (including directory/file capitalization) of the socket file -- the default is as indicated above. If that's all there, then the issue is that your client is trying to find the socket file in a non-standard location of /var/lib/MySQL/MySQL.sock. I suspect that there is a client configuration file that controls this which can be adjusted. [you can change where mysqld writes its socket file, but that could break other applications that use the default location, so I don't recommend that approach.]
