Hello,
I am running MySQL version 3.23.44 and I have been trying for quite
some time to install this version of MySQL on Suse Linux Professional 7.2.
When I enter the command bin/safe_mysqld & to start MySQL I receive the
following messages:
#Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data
011104 mysqld ended
When I try to confirm the status of the database by entering the command:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin
I receive the following message from my system:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at ‘localhost’ failed.
Error: “Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket
‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (2)
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
’ exists
I have found out that /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock does not exist. How do I
create it? What is this files contents? With regards to my configuration
files, I have confirmation that localhost is in these files.
Any help you can provide to assist me in getting MySQL up and running on my
system would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Warren
