ART MySQL RPMs broke Plesk?

Running FC2, with Plesk 7.5 Reloaded. Just upgraded mySQL and PHP using yum, and now receive the following error when attempting to access my Plesk login page:

ERROR: Unable to connect to database: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) 0: /usr/local/psa/admin/auto_prepend/auth.php3:81 psaerror(string "Unable to connect to database: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)")

HELP! I don't know what to do from here.

This can happen when mysql is upgraded or stopped incorrectly. If you run /usr/bin/safe_mysqld it will recreate the sock file and restart mysql for you.

Oh boy, tried that, got the following:

Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql

then it hung and never gave back a command prompt.

BUT IT WORKED!! Got the Plesk login page back. Now we'll see if anything else went wrong.

I'm beginning to hate Linux/Plesk. Given me too much gray hair!
