Please start your MySQL database and run the ISPConfig setup again. netstat -tapand (Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)

You must disable --skip-networking for MySQL. Edit /etc/sysconfig/mysqld and remove --skip-networking from the Variable MYSQLD_OPTIONS: Code: MYSQLD_OPTIONS="" Then restart MySQL: Code: /etc/init.d/mysqld restart and try to install ISPConfig again.
