Look in /etc/init.d and see if mysqld exists. If it does, try to start
it with
/etc/init.d/mysqld start
Until mysqld is started, mysql will not be able to talk to it.

I just installed CentOS 3.5. Included in the install was mysql. When
trying to start it using: service mysqld start. The system responds
with mysqld not recpognized as a service. When trying to use
/usr/bin/mysql I receive this error: ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local
MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2). A search
of the system does not reveal mysql.sock.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for any assistance.
