MySQL

[Micah Bushouse]

I think you're actually trying to start the mysql client, which defaults 
to attempt a connection localhost when no cmd arguments are given. 
Since mysqld isn't running, the mysql client will complain about the 
socket.  If you're using mysql 4.x (mysql 3.x will be very similar, 
except the daemon may be named safe_mysqld), try these steps:

 > whereis mysqld_safe

then run as root the resulting path, for example, on my machine I would use

 > /usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe &

that should work!
