Hi All,
I installed MySQL on my RH6.2 intel box to the default directory specified
by the install /usr/local/mysql. After following the installation
instructions, I was able to perform the Post-Install test ok, the server
started, I queried the test dbase, etc.
2 days post install I booted up the box, tried to start the server with:
shell>./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql &
it appears that the script is attempting to start the dbase, however it
never returns to the cmd prompt. I have to hit enter, then the cmd prompt
is returned and a msg appears 'done...'
I now try to log in to server with:
shell> mysql -h host -u user -p
Enter password: ********
and I get an error message: Can't connect to [local] MySQL server error,
check to see if MySQL is started and the socket `/tmp/mysqld.sock' exists?
Why am I know getting this error message? I connected successfully after
the install. mysqld.sock is not in the /tmp dir, and i did not specifically
give a delete command...?
Please Help.
Thanks,
Chris B
