When you started the mysql server as detailed in the previous message, did it give you any errors? If it did, you may want to try it as: /etc/init.d/mysqld start You may also want to have the mysql server run at boot-up so you don't have to manually start it. As root, do: /sbin/chkconfig mysqld on This should get you up and running as long as MySQL is installed properly.
