I am new to MySQL and have just installed the MySQL rpm files to my Linux
box.
I have run "mysql_install_db" with no problems and I have then run
"safe_mysqld &" this comes up with the messsage
"starting mysql daemon with databses from /var/lib/mysql
mysqld daemon ended"
I assumed that this was corrected and then ran "mysqladmin version" to which
i recieved the following error message
"can't connect to local mysql server through socket
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock (111)
check that mysql is running and that the socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
exists"
I can not find any mysql processes running when I type "ps" and I cannot
find any sock files anywhere.
What am i doing wrong can somebody please please help.
Thanks
Matt Davis.
