If you are running RH7.2, start your GUI and go to System / Service Manager.
Locate mysqld, and make sure it is checked to automatically start on bootup,
then save your settings, and click the start button.

Subject: Fresh RedHat 7.2 install
Hello,
This is a newbie question for a reason...I am. I've installed the lastest
RPM for mysql on a brand new redhat 7.2 installation. When I try to run
mysqladmin to set my new password (or for any reason actually, even to see
the version number) I get the following error.
I am not able to update the database either.
As this is a fresh install, I'm thinking somebody probably has a quick-fix
for me (maybe something about the OS pops into your head). I haven't seen
this addressed in the manual pages.
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket:
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!
Thank You,
Corey Baldwin
