How did you try to connect it??? IS your mysql server running? If yes is the mysql.sock location correct?

I am trying to use it with the Apache web server but haven't gotten that far. I downloaded the source version because I am new to Linux and felt that I would understand better where everything was as far as the files and source code. The original attempt was to install the rpm file and it did so without a problem. However, when I started going through some testing I couldn't find some of the files I needed so I opted to install the source. The reason I mention this is just in case that might be a problem. I have MySQL installed in the /usr/local/mysql folder and everything appears to have compiled and installed just fine. All tasks listed on your website for installing the source worked without an issue until I get to the part where I am actually testing it. Starting the server seems to work as I have the processes running, however, when I attempt to connect to the server in any way (and this happened with the rpm and the source) I receive a message stating the following: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket 'tmp/mysql.sock' (2) Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong and what I need to do in order to get the database server operational?
