i'm having the problem in Mysql. i frequently getting this Mysql sockect

HOW to over come this error?
First start the mysql server, su -c 'service mysqld start' and then
connect. Use 'mysql -u root -p' command instead of mysql -u root.
Here is my attempt to connect to a mysql server which is not yet started !
bash-4.0$ mysql -u root
