did u turn mysql on?

end of mysql installation output:

PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
This is done with:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h CPE00022af118a5-CM024330008757.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com password 'new-password'
See the manual for more instructions.

NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run
the /usr/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be
able to use the new GRANT command!

You can start the MySQL daemon with:
cd / ; /usr/bin/safe_mysqld &

You can test the MySQL daemon with the benchmarks in the 'sql-bench' directory:
cd sql-bench ; run-all-tests

Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!

Returns DATABASE ERROR!Can't connect to local MySQL server through
socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

MySQL server exists on a Win2ksp3 box.
Apache with PHP 4.3.0 exists on a Slackware 8.1 box.

All parameters are correct.
Boxes can see each other.
All php scripts work when run on the Win2k box.


Any ideas why connecting to php/mysql would throw this error?
