I recently have restored my cobalt RAQ4 to factor condition. After installing all the updates for the service that I use on the device I attempted to install mysql with this RMP
[root admin]# ls mail MySQL-server-4.0.15-0.i386.rpm I used rpm -i MySQL-server-4.0.15-0.i386.rpm Now when attempting to set the mysql root passwd or attempting to connect to the mysql server I get this [root admin]# mysqladmin -u root -p password password Enter password: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists! mysql Seems to be running.. [root admin]# ps -ax | grep mysql 26833 pts/0 S 0:00 sh /usr/bin/safe_mysqld 26863 pts/0 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --datadir=/var/lib/mysql 26865 pts/0 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --datadir=/var/lib/mysql 26866 pts/0 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --datadir=/var/lib/mysql 26867 pts/0 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --datadir=/var/lib/mysql 26868 pts/0 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --datadir=/var/lib/mysql 26869 pts/0 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --datadir=/var/lib/mysql 26870 pts/0 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --datadir=/var/lib/mysql 26871 pts/0 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --datadir=/var/lib/mysql 26872 pts/0 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --datadir=/var/lib/mysql 26873 pts/0 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --datadir=/var/lib/mysql and the /tmp/mysql.sock file seems to be there with the correct permissions [root /tmp]# ls -la | grep mysql.sock srwxrwxrwx 1 mysql root 0 Oct 21 16:08 mysql.sock [root /tmp]# the content of the file is blank though.. Any help would be great... I also read in forums that this question has been asked a lot... how ever I was unable to locate a solution .. thank you Shawn _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
