Hello Jason,
just pasting you something what appeared whiles ago...
If you have Redhat, a GLIBC upgrade might have broken
your MySQL installation. (Look in the mailing list archives).
What happens when you telnet to port 3306 on your Linux database server
from the machine Tomcat is running on?
Check the permissions on the files in /var/lib/mysql, they have to be
readable and writable by the user that mysql runs as (usually mysql) if I
recall correctly.

Hi,
run the safe_mysqld as mysql and not as root. Remove the directories
rm -rf /var/lib/mysql
and create it again as root and then
chown -R mysql.mysql /var/lib/mysql
then as mysql run
mysql_install_db
and again as mysql run
safe_mysqld
Bye.
