The server only start with "sudo mysqld_safe" but without the mysqld.sock file. I've checked my /etc/mysql/my.cnf file and the paths are correct for [client] and [mysqld]: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock I run 5.1.41 on Ubuntu 10.04 How to resolve this issue? thanks -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=par...@mafiree.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
