Check if mysql process isn't already running.

Also check in my.cnf if you have correct bind-address parameter set. It could be either 0.0.0.0, 127.0.0.1 or your external IP. If it's some other IP, it could cause the problem.

I know this thread is old. I'm just adding a post for anyone else that has this issue and finds this thread while looking for an answer.

We had the same error after rebooting a RHEL5 server. In our case, the mysql user's UID and primary group were changed, so the database did not have access to any files in /var/lib/mysql.
