Hi, Your socket is probably set wrong in mysql.
It should be in the lib/mysql dir (mysql.sock) but probably is somewhere in a tmp dir. You can check if that's the problem by creating a sym link to the correct dir. (Note: this is not a good solution, as the sym link will go away, a soon as mysqld die's.) If this is the problem you have 2 reconfig mysql and correct the socket path.

It told me that it couldn't connect with "socket '' ". I am fairly new to Linux and definitely new to mySQL and mySQLGUI. But I can get into mySQL via the command line. Can you lend a hand? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
