symbolic link issue

I have created a symbolic link " ln -s /demarialab1/pocinst/socket/pocinst.sock /tmp/mysql.sock "
and executed mysql_secure_installation script, which went through successfully and ,i removed mysql.sock as " rm /tmp/mysql.sock "
once i remove it i am not able to check if the instance is up and running.

I am creating primary and DR databases on the same server,so i have to remove symbolic link.

Kindly advice.
