Re: starting mysql daemon.... help me !!!

[Michael Stassen]

As root, you start the mysql server.  The first thing the server does is 
switch to running as the mysql user, then it tries to bind the socket.  Most 
likely, your problem is that the mysql user does not have permission to 
write the socket file in /var/run/mysql.  As root, run `chown mysql:mysql 
/var/run/mysql`.
