HI,
I'm a new user to Linux and am interested in MySQL and PHP. I currently use
both as a developer elsewhere and am now trying to set up a test server at
home.
I've searched the MYSQL lists and notice that alot of people are getting a
similar problem as myself and I'm not sure if any have got this to work.
I'm consistently getting the error (2002)
: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var..../mysql/mysql.sock' (111)
I've read through the manual about problems starting a server but this has
not helped and I've tried to follow help in the lists but again no result.
I run mysql_install_db and get the messages about starting up
I run safe_mysqld & and get something about starting and stopping
I've found the the mysql.sock and it's in the location that the error
mentions the location of the sock thing?? (It's late and I'm tired and a bit
fed up -after being told to forget windows and go to Linux- I really wanted
to agree but am now finding it hard too!)
I've deleted it and running something above has brought it back again!- this
is good I think
I've uninstalled mysql and reinstalled the client, server etc but still the
same error
People keep responding about starting up or restarting the server. Someone
has mentioned Services Mqsqld Start which does something but every single
time I try mysql I get that error.
I'm just going round in circles now. Can someone give me some help.
1. Can i found out if the server is or is not running -which command and
what am I looking for?
2. Can I stop the mysql server
3. Can I start it?
Using anything to do with mysql or mysqladmin results in the error. I'm
currently reading about something to do with configure ???? how ???
Please please please help
Jason
