Question Can't connect to local MySQL server

I installed mysql 4.0 - server, client & devel using rpm -i <rpm name>. But gives me following error while starting mysql.

Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
mysql
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

Can anyone please help me.

Thank you,

Tina.....

Thats weird as mysqld should create /tmp/mysql.sock and shouldn't be trying to connect to it. What command are you using to start the mysql daemon? Are there any hints in your logs?

cheers

Jamie...
