Hi All, I'm trying to install mysql-4.0.0-alpha on my RedHat 7.1 linux box and somehow it's just not working. I follow all the instructions in the INSTALL-SOURCE file but I get some weird errors like these when I try to start mysql.
Initially when i try to run the server by giving the command $ /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe & I get the following messages on the console. [1] 28102 $ starting mysql daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 011213 :16:56:43 mysqld ended I've not idea why do I get the message "mysqld ended". When I try to start mysql by typing "mysql" at the command prompt I get the following error: Error 2002: Can't connect to MySQL server through socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. I've tried the installation about 2-3 times but i get the same messages all the time. Can anyone help me please :-( Thanks in advance.
