looks so: ls -ld /var/lib/mysql drwxr-xr-x 5 mysql mysql 4096 Mar 29 10:30 /var/lib/mysql > > there a link to it in /tmp : > > 4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 mysql mysql 25 Mar 23 16:58 /tmp/mysql.sock -> > > /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] myproject]$ > > > > > surprised to see it put the socket there, since (on Gentoo) > > > /var/lib/mysql is only accessible by the user the mysql server runs > > > as, so it puts the socket (which needs to be world-readable and > > > writable) in /var/run. > > > > > > > > When you run manage.py runserver, are you running as root? > > yes (should I?), but I can also run as myself, doesn't matter > > You probably shoudn't run it as root on general principle.

Ah, that helped! but I also had to change the mysqld that I'm running from /usr/bin/mysqld_safe (mysql 4) to /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe (mysql 5) although the sockets they use are the same, and I still use mysqldb that is compiled with the mysql.h from mysql4 I can login to the admin site now, great! but it seems that the css files are not accessible because there is no layout . I copied the dir /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Django-0.91-py2.3.egg/django/contrib/admin/media/css to /var/www/xxxx/ (where my project is, wasn't able to use it under my own dir) but that didn't help according to the admin page it expects the css in /xxxx/css : <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/xxxx/css/base.css" /> my settings.py has: ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = 'zbdb/' thanks for the help and patience, -E --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
