The mysql daemon (mysqld) is running, I can run 'mysql' and I get the 'mysql>' prompt but that's it, there seems ot be no simple way of finding out what databases there are there to use.
At the mysql> prompt:
show databases;
will reveal what databases there are. Of course, depending on the location of your MySQL installation (mine is /var/lib/mysql) you can see the database files themselves.
