First question would be if the mysql server (mysqld) is running?

Did you search the internet? Google results for mysql error 2002

it is running but there are i guess two versions 5.0.18 and 5.0.22 installed.
i don know how remove 5.0.18 completely.

I get a different solution everytime.i don know whats going on.
