Hi,

I just installed MySQL via rpms on a fresh installation of Redhat 7 pro
server.   It seems fine at first and it seems to be running.  When I check
the process with: ps aux |grep mysql, I get:
root       925  0.0  0.4  1516  588 pts/0    S    23:28   0:00 grep mysq

But when I try: mysqladmin -p ping
I get:
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysq'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket:
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' e

I'm a newbie at Linux, and an experienced user of MySQL but a newbie
Administrator.  Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

-John
