Permission not given!

I am running Mac OS X (10.4.6)and have installed CompleteMySQL-4.0.21.dmg

In the terminal - I receive the following error:

[Web-Admr:~] webwork% /Library/MySQL/bin/mysql
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
[Web-Admr:~] webwork% "$PATH":/Library/MySQL/bin
tcsh: /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/Library/MySQL/bin: Command not found.
[Web-Admr:~] webwork% /usr/local/mysql
tcsh: /usr/local/mysql: Permission denied.

PLEASE help me, how do I get MySQL up and running? -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

It shows it could not find the socket file i.e. the server is not running and so the socket file is not created or the client is misconfigured and looking in the wrong place. The following command can tell you if the server is running:

ps ax | fgrep mysqld
It should show multiple threads of the mysqld server process. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
