Go to the cmd line and type ps -ef , do you see mysqld listed? If so then it is
already running.

Check permissions on the MySQL datadir. Look also into the .err file
in the MySQL data dir
this is the error message I get
"Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)"
Why is this ?
Here is a copy of the my.cnf file
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
[mysql.server]
user=mysql
basedir=/var/lib
[safe_mysqld]
