Had the same problem. 
Try this:

# chown -R mysql. /var/lib/mysql (or where ur db's are stored)

Guys,

Anyone can give me an advice on how i can connect to my sql server?
I installed RH 7.2 i just enabled mysql. The problem is that it keeps 
on saying cannot connect to sql server - please check configuration..

thanks
