I just installed the new version of MySQL on my Redhat Linux 7.0 box and when I try to connect with a web browser I get: Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)... Error When I log in as root in Linux, I can execute commands just fine. The socket is in the right directory "var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'" and has permissions (CHMOD 777) Has anyone seen this before? I looked in the manual, but nothing helped. Here is what happens when I run "mysqladmin --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock version" command as root: mysqladmin Ver 8.8 Distrib 3.23.22-beta, for redhat-linux-gnu on i386 TCX Datakonsult AB, by Monty Server version 3.23.22-beta Protocol version 10 Connection Localhost via UNIX socket UNIX socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock Uptime: 1 hour 3 min 15 sec Threads: 1 Questions: 68 Slow queries: 0 Opens: 12 Flush tables: 1 Open tables: 5 Queries per second avg: 0.018 Has any one seen this?
