Hi folks, just signed up to the list so I hope this is the correct place to
send such a question:
I have recently upgraded to Red Hat Linux 7.1 from Red Hat 6.x
I had successfully run MySQL under that distribution but am having problems
with it under Red Hat 7.1
I have installed mysql-3.23.36 from the RPM file.
When I attempt to run mysql from teh command line I get the following
message:
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)
When I check my log file at /var/log/mysqld.log
I get a message as follows:
010905 16:10:14 mysqld started
010905 16:10:14 /usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm'
(errno: 13)
010905 16:10:14 mysqld ended
I have checked /var/lib/mysql directory and have the following items:
mysql mysql.sock test
I am assuming the test directory is the test database though it doesn't
contain anything.
Inside the mysql directory (so inside /var/lib/mysql/mysql) I can see the
following items:
columns_priv.frm db.frm func.frm host.frm tables_priv.frm user.frm
columns_priv.MYD db.MYD func.MYD host.MYD tables_priv.MYD user.MYD
columns_priv.MYI db.MYI func.MYI host.MYI tables_priv.MYI user.MYI
-----
I am not sure if I have included too little or too much information.
above.
I have attempted to figure out what I have done incorrectly by reading the
installed mysql docs but can't figure out where I have gone wrong.
Once I get MySQL running I more or less know what I am doing but to start it
I am stumped.
Any help would be appreciated.

p.s. Is it my imagination or did MySQL run when set up under Red Hat 6.x
whereas there is more tweaking to do under Red Hat 7.1
