I am trying to bring up my third mysql server. This one is MySQL-3.23.32-1.i386.rpm..rpm on a redhat 6.2 base. I was successful in installing both the server and the host. Look around and every thing looked cool! Piece of Cake! Then I decided to set up the mysqladmin user and setup privelidges, etc. The other two servers are run as root with no security. Every thing has gone down hill. All I get is this message: 'Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission denied' whenever I try to start mysql. I've even rebooted the unix a few times, rebuilt the initial data base, etc. Tried every command I could find in the doc, but it won't budge. Only trying to get mysql to startup as root. I am about ready to start from scratch ... but reformat the drives and re-installing redhat seems too drastic. Please help. The hardware is IBM 6000R Netfinity with 1.5 g memory, dual 700 mh pentium processors, 200 g scsi raid set up as 1E. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
