I'm starting to play with linux. Till now I have over my shoulders three
days experience with it :-)
I have been able to install and successfully run mysql 4.1.12 but
something it's happening I cannot understand (no surprise)
With my sql stopped I go to console as root and write:
cd /etc/init.d
mysql start
and get this error: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL
server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
but with
cd /var/lib/mysql
/etc/init.d/mysql start
server gets up and ready.
PS: I have just find that:
cd /etc/init.d
/etc/init.d/mysql start
works fine too!!!
I would like to learn what's the difference between "mysql start" and
"/etc/init.d/mysql start" if I'm sitting on "/etc/init.d"
I think this error is preventing mysql from automatically starting on
start up.
