As the error message says: Check that mysqld is running.  If not then
you need to start it.  If it is running or dead then I'd be surprised.

Check the server's status (running, stopped, dead, etc):
  service mysqld status

If its not been started then the status will look like:
$ service mysqld status
mysqld is stopped



If it is stopped then become root:
  su -

Start the service:
  service mysqld start

Start the service at boot if you desire:
  chkconfig mysqld on


You can also use the graphical service control utility found under Main
Menu -> System Settings -> Server Settings if you prefer.

Basic System Administration documentation (close enough for FC1):
