Hi @all,

I'm a newbee at MySQL and tried to install my first MySQL-Database. Everything worked 
good until i tried to start the MySQL-Daemon. I typed ./safe_mysqld --log & to start 
the daemon but i get the message: 
Starting the mysql-daemon with database from /usr/local/mysql/var
mysql-daemon ended
When i run mysqladmin version i get the message:
connect to local MySQL-Server failed
error: can't connect to local MySQL-Server throuhg socket: 'tmp/mysql.sock'

This socket does not exist in /tmp

what must i do to get MySQL started?

MfG
Shane
