Being a newbie has its challenges...

Before going any further on the answers to my earlier post, I thought  
I should walk through the setup process once more.

I set up a new app. I can load the "it worked!" page using a browser  
on the localhost with "runserver". When I ran the "manage.py syncdb"  
method as part of walking through the project setup process, it threw  
an exception, see traceback below.

The server is running mysql, I use phpMyAdmin and a couple of other  
applications successfully with it.
There is an existing database of the same name as the new django  
project.
I didn't find anything interesting in the logs, but then the django  
logs are empty at the moment.
I did not find a file at "/tmp/mysql.sock"

I found some references to the 2002 error but they seemed to be  
problems of whether mysql was running or installed.

Can someone point me in the right direction?
