That shows that mysqladmin is installed. It does not say that mysql
is running.

If you run the command "service mysqld status" it will show you if
the mysql daemon is running. By default, it is not set to run when
installed. You have to turn the service on. If you want to do it
from the command line, run, as root:

chkconfig mysqld on
service mysqld start

You will not have to run the two commands again. If the service
command does not return OK, then you have an error in configuration.
