Hi, Since SuSE 7.1 I experience the following problem using MySQL: andreaso@php4win:~ > mysql -u root -p Enter password: ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) Looks like I don't get a connection... andreaso@php4win:~ > su Password: root@php4win:/home/andreaso > mysql -u root -p Enter password: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 1 to server version: 3.23.32-log Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer mysql> Works as root... And I think I didn't have that problem while using SuSE 7.0 Permissions on mysql.sock are as follows: root@php4win:/home/andreaso > ls -la /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock srwxrwxrwx 1 mysql daemon 0 Feb 28 08:59 /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock This is really bugging me since a week now and I couldn't find a solution yet. I would really appreciate if someone could help.
