Hello, I have mysql-5.0.22-2.1.0.1.rpm version installed on RHEL5.1 system. I have been trying certain benchmarking tools and found that MySQL5.1 has inbuilt benchmarking tool known as "mysqlslap". Since the tool is not available for MySQL5.0, i have downloaded the source rpm MySQL-community-5.1.28-0.rhel5.src.rpm and tried to get the binary mysqlslap so that i can execute it in the same machine running MySQL5.0 and benchmark the same.
But after compiling the tarball i was not able to login to mysql using : mysql -u root -p . It gave me the below error. Cannot connect to /tmp/mysql.sock, which is not the socket file as it is /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. Although i could login to mysql by issuing this command :- ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock The above scenario should not happen when i have just compiled the source code. What could be wrong. Am i trying something wrong ??? Best Regards Sudhir.Menon
