Your server IS running or you wouldn't have that error, you would have
seen something else. You left out a critical detail from your original
post:
What are you doing when you get that error?
If you are attempting a connection through an ODBC driver, you need to be
aware that even the most up-to-date driver acts like a pre-4.1 client.
That means you may need to follow one or more of the suggestions
documented here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Problems.html
especially read A.2.3 :
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Old_client.html
Let me know if I am on the right track, OK?
