yes... at least I thought so, although I think I may not have started it properly.
I have set it to an on state, using chkconfig --level 2345 mysqld on. Afterwhich, if I do a chkconfig --list mysqld, it reports that mysqld is running. However, I have found reference to using the command mysql.server start in the online help manual. When I run that, I get [root@Acillatem mysql]# ./mysql.server start [root@Acillatem mysql]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 020115 13:38:41 mysqld ended I think I've missed something somewhere... a ps -ax does not report the daemon running, so that's the big part of my problem. -----Original Message----- From: Rick Emery [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 1:44 PM To: David Burklin; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: MySQL newbie question did you start mysqld ? -----Original Message----- From: David Burklin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 1:36 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: MySQL newbie question Hello, and sorry for the bother with what is probaby a very simple problem. I'm new to MySQL. I have just installed RedHat 7.2 Linux, and installed the included distribution of MySQL, which is version 3.23.41 When I try to run the mysql program, either by itself, or with any arguments, I get the following error. ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) Could anyone provide advice as to what I need to do to get this running? Thanks for any assistance you can provide. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
