Yes, there's a file named "mysql.sock".

I installed everything from the RH7.1 CDs ( two of them ) I don't really
know if it's rpm or not.

I had to do "/etc/init.d/mysqld start". Is it same as "/etc/init.d/mysql 
start"? Little "d" at the end of "mysql" is making me nervus. I do the 
similar thing when I start http too. It's httpd. What's a "d" for?
