Thanks Andrea, it was the password. Now running all fine.
I had to use this link to reset the passwd : 
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html#resetting-
permissions-unix

--just note: the file with sql command to change pwd must be chmod a+r 'd and 
placed to an accessible folder if done under root and run as --user=mysql. I 
also had to rm some log files since size did not fit and it died with error. 
After this I could run mysql_upgrade -p , restart mysqld and now everything 
plays nice.

Thanks everyone and merry Christmas :o)
