Oops.  Anywho...


mysql is started, you are having trouble connecting with the client.  Go
here and read about MySQL "Option Files":
http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_Installing.html#Op
tion_files

This simplifies your connection to the server.  Try differnt connection
combinations in your option file if you trouble.  I would recommend not
including your password, so it'll prompt you.  Make sure to chmod your
option file down too.
