If you don't see mysqld running when you do a ps, then the problem is
starting mysql... Mysql doesn't report errors in starting up to the
terminal... You need to find the log file...
The log file should be stored in your ..../mysql/data directory. The
logfile should be named [domain].log... So if your machine is called
"beef", it would be ..../mysql/data/beef.log
Check the end of that file to see why mysql isn't starting...
That may answer your question better than we can. Mysql creates the
mysql.sock file automatically when it's started. If it isn't in your
filesystem, than mysql didn't start.

Subject: [PHP] second try - Mysql php install
I'm trying to make php work with mysql but I can't
even create a table. I'm receiving this error.
[root@menace mysql]# mysqladmin create testdb
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server though
socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysq.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket
:'/var/lib/mysql/mysq.sock' exists
I started mysqld - ps -ef shows that the process is
not running
The only thing I see that is wrong is that mysql.sock
is missing, but I assumed the install or starting the
process would create it. It didn't.
Shouldn't this file be created by the install
And when I use prefix=/software/mysql a mysqld file is
placed under /usr/local/bin as well. Am I doing
something wrong???
