hi, my platform is red hat 6.2. the rpm packages of mysql are:
mysqlclent9-3.23.22-4 php-mysql-4.0.4pl1-9 mysql-3.23.36-1 mysql-devel-3.23.36-1 mysql-server-3.23.36-1 I can start mysql_install_db. But I can not start safe_mysqld. The message is, that the file " mysql.sock" is not fond. And that is right, this file is not present. I do not know why. Thanks in advance Teresa Rózga -- Teresa Rózga Dipl. Ing.
