A socket is created using the 'mknod' command. The command should read something like this: mknod /tmp/mysql.sock p In addition to that you can determine, where the socket should go using the option --with-unix-socket-path= when configuring mysql for compiling. If you did this, the socket will be created upon server start. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
