You are right that RedHat is funny. 7 really seems weird. I tried for two
days to get everything going, (still am) and ran into all kinds of errors
with Mysql. I tried different versions, and had different problems on each.
I finally ran up2date to get everything update, and thought that would do
the trick. Not so.
I know, just configure it yourself, and don't use the rpms, but it is so
much better to maintain if you can use the rpms. At least for me. I don't
get lost trying to find where things are installed.
Back to the problem. I have tried doing what you said before, and tried it
again just now. Here is what I get.
[root@cypher mtuller]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld restart
Stopping MySQL: [FAILED]
Starting MySQL: [ OK ]
All looks good!!......
Now I enter this.
[root@cypher mtuller]# mysql
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/m
ysql.sock' (111)
I check to see mysql.sock is missing.....
[root@cypher mtuller]# locate mysql.sock
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
I've ran mysql_install_db, I've flushed the databases, reinstalled, updated,
prayed to the server gods, and still I get the same thing. I know mysql will
work, because I had Supportwizard's version of Mysql running earlier, but
wanted to switch to a generic version so that I could use it for other
things.
GRRR!!!!!
What next? Any ideas?
