This error results from Berkley Databases (bdb) not being enabled. This is normally OK (unless you want to use them), but it seems as though your have it set in your my.cnf file to have them enabled and not in MySQL. Go back into your my.cnf file and put a '#' in front of all the bdb and innodb configuration options. Secondly, the socket will be missing as it is a temp. file that is created and deleted whenever the server is started or shut down. It will be recreated when the server is restarted. J.R.

Bullington Subject: Re: MySQL configuring on Linux I just did it and configured it to be a "Server" but after all when I restarted mysqld I got this error: shell> Can't connect to local mysql server throught socket 'var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' I also checked and socket files has been deleted. There was aölso an error log and there was: unknown argument bdb_cache_size=4 MB or something like that ? How can I re-generate socket file ? Why the original configuration for Server has errors in it ?
