I had a similar problem. What does '/etc/init.d/mysql start' say? If it
does not start, then open your /etc/mysql/my.cnf and comment out
'old_passwords' (mysql now fails with this option).

This normally means, that your mysql-server is not running.

If mysqld does not start, you should have a look at the syslog.
