1. Is mysqld running? I don't remember if the default configuration
for RH8.0 sets it to start on system boot.
The easy way to check is:
ps aux | grep mysql
or
mysqladmin -u root ping
will return "MySQL is alive" if the server is running.
2. See chapter 2.4 of the MySQL Manual for Post-installation Setup and
Testing
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Post-installation.html
