Can't install MySQL

["Fabio A Mazzarino" <fabio.mazzarino@gmail.com>]

Hello folks

After installing mysql I've found the following problem:

Starting MySQL database server: mysqld...failed.
      Please take a look at the syslog.
/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket:
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists!

Even trying to start it the error cotinues:

# /etc/init.d/mysql start
Starting MySQL database server: mysqld...failed.
      Please take a look at the syslog.
/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket:
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists!


It's a default bootstrap (3.1r4 sarge), I did nothing but install
mysql-server (this exactly package). No manual configuration just the
sources.lib (as follows)

deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ sarge main
deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ sarge main

deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sarge main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sarge main



Can anybody help me find the solution?
