The two most common reasons that people can't start mysqld are that they've forgotten to run mysql_install_db (or whatever it's called), and that they've forgotten to set the correct permission on mysql's data directory (which of course should be owned by whatever user mysqld is running as). mysql.sock is not a regular file. It's a unix socket, and thus it won't exist if mysqld isn't running. There's a chapter on this in the FAQ. //C -- Carl Troein - Círdan / Istari-PixelMagic - UIN 16353280 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://pixelmagic.dyndns.org/~cirdan/ Amiga user since '89, and damned proud of it too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
