Default mysql install

Anyone know of any new guides on installing mysql on 5.0?

after package install; instructions are to run mysql_install_db and set the root password.

but running
/usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h (computer+host) password 'new-password'

returns:
failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket

pkg_add installs fine without any errors.

running mysqld and/or mysqld start fails also.

Thanks in advance.
