Installing MySQL

I installed the RPMs for MySQL on my Red Hat 7.2 server. Now when I try to set the roots password I always get this error:

ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQLserver though socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)

I have looked around at MySQL's site and couldn't find anything useful. What can I do to solve the problem?
