Hello gurus, I have Slackware 8.0 and RHL7.1 both on my Linux box. In Red Hat mysql is working smoothly but I am having having following problems in Slack8 In Slack8 mysql is installed as a per of standard installtion but not under /usr/local.The scripts are in /usr/bin and includes in /usr/include/mysql and libs in /usr/lib/mysql etc.. I could see that there is a group mysql and user mysql added to it. I could not loacte mention of mysqld in any of the rc scripts.when as root I give command /usr/bin/safe_mysqld & It gives me following messages: Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql and on the next line it says mysqld ended.
Also when as user mysql I give command mysql -u mysql -p it prompts for the password but after giving the password it gives error: can't connect to loacl mysql server through socket /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock I also copied the file /etc/my-small.cnf to ~mysql/.my.cnf (This is as per documentation in my-small.cnf) Still I am not able to log on to the database. I am not able to understand why mysqld is ending.Is there any other thing I am missing which would start this daemon and then I can connect to database.
