<DIV>How can I get the MySQL database to run... I can't get to the database
setup<BR>> screen. When I 'mysql -u root mysql' , i get the error: Can't
connect to<BR>> local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'
(2). If I type<BR>> <BR><BR>When you started the mysql server as detailed in
the previous message,<BR>did it give you any errors? If it did, you may want to
try it as:<BR><BR>/etc/init.d/mysqld start<BR><BR>You may also want to have the
mysql server run at boot-up so you don't<BR>have to manually start it. As root,
do:<BR><BR>/sbin/chkconfig mysqld on<BR><BR>This should get you up and running
as long as MySQL is installed properly.<BR><FONT face=Arial
