I'm newbie in MySQL and i installed MySQL5.5 Server and Client in my Debian Wheezy. All i did was enter "aptitude install myqsl-server". Now, i have no idea what to do! I found a webpage that says i have to set up a root user password first, and, to do that, i have to enter with the following command:
mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD

Where "NEWPASSWORD" is, well, the new password. The rest are literally commands. So, i opened my terminal and as normal user, tried to enter with this command and i got this output:
quote:
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists!


So, considering all i did. What is the next steps? I have to create a root user password, but for what? And after that, what i have to do to create a simple table representing datas?
Could you, guys, please, tell me what to do next? All tutorials i read in internet are very difficult to understand! I believe until create a simple table i have to do more 3 or 4 steps.
