If you are running RH7.2, start your GUI and go to System / Service Manager. Locate mysqld, and make sure it is checked to automatically start on bootup, then save your settings, and click the start button.

I've installed the lastest RPM for mysql on a brand new redhat 7.2 installation. When I try to run mysqladmin to set my new password (or for any reason actually, even to see the version number) I get the following error. I am not able to update the database either. As this is a fresh install, I'm thinking somebody probably has a quick-fix for me (maybe something about the OS pops into your head). I haven't seen this addressed in the manual pages. mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!
