I get the following error:


Could not connect to host 'localhost'.
MySQL Error Nr. 2002
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

Click the 'Ping' button to see if there is a networking problem.

Upon entering:

Server Hostname:		localhost
Port:				3306
Username:			thufir
Password:			<password>



I'm googling, but not really understanding exactly what Admnistrator does. 
For now, I'd be happy to create single table with a few rows, columns and 
dummy data!  Username refers to a user on the local machine?  localhost 
means to use my home computer?  password is the password on the local 
machine?  Heh, I think I need the idiots guide to MySQL :(

Pointers?

I've installed from Fedora, FC4, with yum.  I'm not seeing 
/usr/local/mySQL, for what it's worth.  I'm turning to MySQL because Open 
Office "Base" doesn't, apparently, offer compound foreign primary keys, 
aka composite foreign primary keys.  Administrator is the best GUI for 
making fairly simple databases for MySQL?
