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
