First you need to make sure that you have a running mysql
server for the client mysql program to connect to. If the
server is not runing, you will obviously not be able to
connect to it.
I find the following utility very helpfull - been messsing
around with it today.
http://www.student.nada.kth.se/~f91-men/qps/
It give a graphical UI, into the running processes.
I noticed using qps, that sometimes the mysqld_safe script
loads into memory, but does not actually load a mysqld
process. Also, version 4.0.21 only spawns one child process,
where 5.0.18 starts several processes in memory.
I had the RPM 5.0.18 version running, and two other seperate
binary distro's of 5.0.18, all on different sockets and
ports.
I've given up with using mysqld_safe to run the mysqld
daemon. It is to unpredictable.
qps also shows all the command line arguments passed to
mysqld, which shows at a glance which ports and sockets the daemons
are listening on.
It is included with SuSE 9.2 pro, as an extra package. I
think it lives on the DVD's.
You can download qps from the link above.

In theory, theory and practice are the same;
In practice they are not.
