Hello, As you probably know mysql comes installed in Linux 7.1 as default. I installed my own mysql server in a different location in the file system, In safe_mysqld I indicated the path in which I want the mysql.sock to be created in but when I start my mysql server I get an error message: Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: No such file or direc tory 011116 9:56:26 Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket: /v ar/lib/mysql/mysql.sock ? 011116 9:56:26 Aborting
the default mysql server on Linux 7.1 is not running but even though I can not run my own mysql server. In order to solve this I created a symbolic link between /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock to the path of my mysql server and that works fine but I am looking for a better solution - does some one have an idea?
