hi

When I run the command

    shell> /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql &

it creates the file /tmp/mysql.sock

the problem is that when i run the command

    shell> mysql
it gives me this error:

ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)

and in looking for the file in /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

Can I change this and how do I do this?

Thankyou

Gordon
