I'm running RedHat 7.1 and I'm trying to run mysql. I've gone and run the mysql_install_db then I try to run the mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password' and I get the following error:
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists! When I get this error I go to /etc/rc.d/init.d/ and run the mysqld start command and it says it started but when I check to see if it has in top it's not listed and not started. Also, when I go and run the mysqld stop command it fails becuase it was never started. I've also tried to run /usr/bin/safe_mysqld --usr=mysql & and I get the following: Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 020115 03:28:24 mysqld ended [1]+ Done ./safe_mysqld --user=mysql That doesn't work. I've looked in the /var/lib/mysql/ directory for an error log and there is none. Just a mysql and test directory. I'm at a lost here and don't know what to do. Thanks for any help! --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
