Hello,

I can see there is an issues with the MySQL sock, You will have to remove that MySQL sock from /var/lib/mysql directory and try to start your MySQL services and plesk service on your server.

You should also look at the MySQL log for the cause of MySQL failing to start.

Still having issues here. each time i restart the server its giving me this issue. I have resorted to wiping the server after backing everything up, installing a fresh copy of Centos 6.5 and plesk and after first restart i got this issue again.

I have exactly the same problem, just started on a couple of boxes that have been running for several months. They are both test VMs, so have re-images both with both previously working images, and fresh Ubuntu and Centos installs followed by a clean Plesk installation. Same problem on all.

Can anyone shed any light?

Thought I'd already posted here.

My mysql.sock permissions were incorrect. chmod 777 mysql.sock and problem solved Eric.

I have the same Problem, i need Help.
I can`t solve the Problem.

Maybe after a Plesk Update this Error shows.
The CHMOD Solutions doesn`t work.

ERROR: Another MySQL daemon already running with the same unix socket.

Solution:
First stop mysql service and Rename or delete current mysql.sock file and restart mysql service

# /etc/init.d/mysqld stop

# mv /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock.back
or other catalog name:
# mv /var/lib/mysqld/mysql.sock /var/lib/mysqld/mysql.sock.back

And then start mysql service

# /etc/init.d/mysqld start

You will see your issue is resolved and mysql service started smoothly.
enjoy
