Hello

I've established that the MySQL server is running, but I cannot create or do anything 
with it.  Here is some examples.

[root@www bin]# mysql
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket 
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)

[root@www bin]# mysqladmin -u root -p create ecreations
Enter password: 
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' 
(111)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!

if I go to /var/lib/mysql there is no mysql.sock file

How do I create this? I thought it was supposed to be created when MySQL installs?

I'm running this on a Cobalt RaQ3 server with Cobalt Linux and used RPM to install 
MySQL.

Any help is appreciated.
