Mysql crashed

Hia ll,

it's a new server and mysql donen't want to run
Tried to start without success. It seems that mysql.sock doesn't exist. Not in /var/lib/mysql not in /var/tmp
mysqld seems not exist
this is the output after /scripts/restartsrv mysql

/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!
mysql has failed, please contact the sysadmin (result was "Warning, no valid mysql.sock file found.mysql has failed").
