Can you do a ps -ef | grep mysql and post the results? Also can you log in using mysql --user=mysql -p -P3306

I am not sure how to "connect" to the server. When I do "usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql --user=mysql &" it appears to start for a brief instant but then comes back with "mysqld ended". When I look at the log it says it was because of this inability to connect to the socket.
