Hi All,

I can start mysql with the following cmd,

/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start

although, I had to change

bindir=./bin

to

bindir=/usr/local/mysql/bin

to get it to work. I can access the DB with,

mysql -h localhost -u root -p

successfully, but, when trying to access via phpmyadmin or webmin it doesn't work. I've set the config files to what I believe are correct.

phpmyadmin error below,

Error

*MySQL said: *Documentation <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Error-returns.html>

| #2002 - Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)


||Now, I've got user as root and no password, as I haven't set 1 yet. Why am I getting this.? Anyone seen this before.?



With webmin, I get this displayed,

|*MySQL is not running on your system - database list could not be retrieved.

*Click this button to start the MySQL database server on your system with the command /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start. This Webmin module cannot administer the database until it is started.

even though the server is running, confirmed with the following,

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ps -uxwww | grep mysql
Warning: bad syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See /usr/share/doc/procps-3.2.3/FAQ

root 4771 0.0 0.0 1580 124 pts/2 R+ 14:36 0:00 grep mysql


Is anyone on here running webmin to manage mysql..? I'm curious how you got it to run..? If I stop the server via cli and then click the start mysql server button on the webmin page, it goes back to the same message, but, the server is started. I changed the config module page to reflect my installation. What have I missed, perhaps..? Cheers.

Mark Sargent.
