<DIV></DIV>You don't say how you installed MySql, but this message would appear
to indicate that MySql is not running. <BR><BR>
<DIV>On my Ubuntu laptop, from a terminal I did:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>$ ps -ef | grep mysql</DIV>
<DIV>mysql 25011 1 1 07:21 ?
00:00:05 /usr/sbin/mysqld</DIV>

grep mysql</DIV>
<DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>So, first off, is it running?</DIV>
