Yup, that was it. The demon wasn't starting on start-up. I fixed that,
and now mysql starts up. Now on to the rest of the set-up.

I did open the port 3306 in the firewall. what else am I missing? BTW, I would

I was just playing with MySQL a bit within the last few weeks, but
moved on to PostgreSQL. Not an option for what you're doing though.
Check that the MySQL daemon is actually running. Also check the
MySQL log file, plus the file you listed above.
You'll probably find the answer in the log file or at MySQL-specific
web pages on the 'net.
The mysql.sock file most likely lists the TCP socket that MySQL is
listening on. If the daemon isn't actually running that could be
the problem.
