I am getting the following error when I try to start mysql. I know that it installed ok, and when I run mysql_install_db, it works fine. But when I run safe_mysqld & or any of the admin commands I get the following error

ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)


Any help would be much appriciated.

I get this error when I try to start the mysql client (mysql) but the mysql server (mysqld) is not running, but it sounds like you are trying to start the server not the client.

I was going to ask if you were root when trying to start the server, but I tried this and got different error messages.

Check your configuration with the MySQL documentation.
