Hello, and sorry for the bother with what is probaby a very simple problem.

I'm new to MySQL. I have just installed RedHat 7.2 Linux, and installed the
included distribution of MySQL, which is version 3.23.41

When I try to run the mysql program, either by itself, or with any
arguments, I get the following error.

ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

Could anyone provide advice as to what I need to do to get this running?
Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
