Hi,
Find mysql folder is there in /var/lib/ or not. It it is there find for mysql.sock in that folder or not. Install webmin package from there in Servers option click on mysql server and select start. Ucan get it later if you want you can uninstall webmin package. I am using Fedora 8. I faces same problem and unexpectedly it was trouble shooted.
