This indicates that you did indeed start the daemon.

So then why are you trying to start it again? Of course it's going
to tell you there's a daemon already running. You started it with the
mysqld_safe command.
Note, mysqld is the daemon, whereas mysql is the client. If all
you're trying to do it connect to the daemon, you need to run mysql, NOT
mysqld.
