mysql error, urgent please help

[Secret Agent]

I don't know what happened suddenly. MySQL is down and restarting it shows:

mysql has failed, please contact the sysadmin (result was "Warning, no valid mysql.sock file found.mysql has failed").

Specs:
Fedora Core 1
cPanel + WHM

I ran:
ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock
/scripts/updatenow
/scripts/restartsrv_mysql --check (showed error that file not found)
update apache

Ran "Update Server Software" in WHM and showed this (note the mysql errors):

There is a problem with mysql RPM that cpanel is using for install.

Try to get the correct RPM for mysql i guess.

[AndyReed]

Just in case, you need help correcting this problem, please, send us an email note and we'll be more than happy to work with you and get your MySQL up and running.

Thank you!

Yes, The unixsoft.org mirror has some bad RPM's on it so you need to modify your /etc/hosts file to force it to download from a second known good mirror.

Where can I find these other mirrors?

Any one know?
