I have a RedHat 7.2 machine going, and I'm getting the following error when I run 
"mysqltest" after starting the MySQL Daemon...

<Snip>

mysqltest: Failed in mysql_real_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through 
socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)

<Snip>

First of all, I've relocated the "data directory" to "/OmegaNET/DataCore" which is a 
seperate, larger hard drive in my system.  Also, I've checked the permissions of the 
"/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock" file AND it's directory, and they both have the correct 
user/group/permissions.
I've tried the "/tmp/mysql.sock" symlink fix, and that hasn't yielded any results.

I've consulted every article I could find in http://groups.google.com and have been 
unable to find a solution to this problem.  I'm uncertain as to what is causing it, 
and if someone could help me out, I'd be ETERNALLY greatful!  Send me an e-mail at

Thanks in advance!
