The mysql program is the client. You need to start the mysqld server before you use it. I think that "sudo /sbin/service mysql start" will start it. You can also use "sudo /sbin/chkconfig mysql 35" to configure the /init.d/ startup scripts to start it automatically when booting into runlevels 3 and 5.

Hi,
Mysql server is not running in your machine.

run this command as root user

/sbin/service mysqld start

then try to connect it
