I have installed MySQL by running mysql_install_db after completing the
installation of RH Linux 7.1 from scratch. The file seems to indicate
that it installs OK. When I try to start the server from the command
line it get a message that says "Starting mysqld daemon with databases
from /var/lib/mysql", next line gives that date and time and says
"mysqld ended". I then have to hit enter to get a prompt back.
If I try to use the "mysqladmin version" commend I get the following
error:
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket:
'/var/mysql/mysqld.sock' exists!
The file mysql.sock is in the right place but I can't open the file even
as root. I have also looked for an error log, but haven't found one
yet.
Any help would be appreciated.
The machine does have two NIC's, though one has been disabled.
