Hello. I installed on my computer Red Hat Linux 7.0. After that I started configuring
mysql. I upgraded mysql, added all necessary packages and I wanted to run mysql
server.
Whenever I type mysql it gives me such an error message: "ERROR 2002: Can't connect to
MYSQL server through socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock ". I found out from the internet
that I needed to change permission for the mysql.socket by typing chmod 777
mysql.socket. For the first time this file didn't even exist, then it was created when
I typed mysql_install_db, but it is empty. Version of this mysql is: 3.23.22-beta.
I am very sorry about that, but I really need to get mysql running from the Linux
platform, in order to use it in my C/C++ programs. Please if anybody could help me I
would appreciate that. I'll wait for the answer. Thank you.
Mike
