Hello! In my Ubuntu 10.10, following this tutorial, I don't face step 2. I mean, while installing the packets, I don't face anything related to configuration.

Then, when I run a command, such a

mysql -u root -p

, I get this error:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

As I see in other treads,

ps aux | grep mysqld

gives me just this output:

1000 4508 0.0 0.0 5172 760 pts/0 S+ 19:53 0:00 grep --color=auto mysqld

What is happening?? Thanks in advance
