I believe William is right. I have had the same error more than twice and this is what I did to solve it - I just can't explain why. My Linux 8.0 comes with X Window System and I use the GNOME desktop.Hello everyone,
Im extremaly newbie with using MySQL under Linux. Im using: mysql Ver 11.18 Distrib 3.23.51, for slackware-linux-gnu (i386) - ( btw - should i uprgade this or its enough to learn ? )
My question is:
How to start mysql deamon? When i type: mysqld then apear: ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
Whats wrong? Its a default installation
I have a little experience with MySQL under MS Windows ( run mysqld then open MySQLadmin and thats it ), but i wish to use database under Linux.
If any one can help then o would be in debt forever.

Did you try typing 'ps aux | grep mysqld' ? You should get three lines (plus sometimes the grep line) if the server is running. Normally you will start a safe_mysqld rather than mysqld Alternatively you would start it with mysqladmin

Then I scrolled down and put a check mark on mysql and then updated
I then scrolled down to xinetd, highlighted it and then click Restart on the Services Toolbar.
When I went back to the command line, I was able to launch mysql.
Hope this helps!!
