I don´t know how to go ver this message...

--------------------
[root@raq3 sbin]# mysqladmin status
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql
.sock' (111)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket:
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' ex
ists!
