I also tried adding Port param in

400 <Plugin unixsock>
401     SocketFile "/var/run/collectd-unixsock"
           Port "7634"
402     SocketGroup "collectd"
403     SocketPerms "0775"
404 </Plugin>

but it still says in the log file -

[2009-07-28 23:18:15] Plugin `unixsock' did not register for value `Port'.
[2009-07-28 23:18:15] unixsock plugin: bind failed: Address already in use
