Hello All,
I'm trying to get mediawiki working on a solaris 9 domain (this is on
a Sun 15k, FWIW). I had mysql installed and in a fit of stupidity,
managed to remove /tmp/mysql.sock. After scouring the Usenet via
google, and searching through the archives at lists.mysql.com, I'm still
in a quandry as to how to recreate this pointer.
First off, there is no /var/lib directory, so it wasn't pointing there
(as was pointed to in one google hit). Actually, there's no mysql.sock
anywhere on this system (as far as I can tell).
So I've re-configured, re-compiled and re-installed mysql-4.1.12 but it
still does not create the pointer to mysql.sock.
I'm enough of a mysql newbie (though a solaris oldbee) to be uncertain
how to communicate with this service (I thought that if the socket
wasn't there, it would use tcp/ip). Goes to show what I know! Any
pointers on how to recreate /tmp.mysql.sock, and what it should be
pointing to will be a great help.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Paul Mitchell

Paul,
the installation of a mysql on a solaris must not be different than an
installation on a linux distrib (which i did). so if you would create a
my.cnf file in your /etc directory with several [mysqld] options.
did you create a symbolic link mysql in your /usr/local pointing to your
mysql-install-dir?
if i start my mysqld it creates a mysql.sock because of an option in
my.cnf: socket="/tmp/mysql.sock"
when i `mysqladmin -u root shutdown` the database, the mysql.sock is
removed.
does your system errors when starting mysqld?
