Sounds like a permissions problem. Make sure the data directory is owned by the user that mysqld runs under. Usually `chown -R mysql /var/lib/mysql` will do the trick. The error: "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)" is due to the fact that mysqld is not running when you try to connect via the mysql client.
