Hi Egor, thank you very much for the help. > Of course you can do rm -f /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock as root while mysqld > is not running and try to start MySQL again. The server is intended to run > as "mysql" user.
I am sorry but there isn't any file mysql.sock in the folder /var/lib/mysql. In this folder there are: linux-bin.001 linux-bin.index linux.err mysql/ test/ where 'mysqld' and 'test' are two folders too. I know mysqld has to run as user "mysql", but I don't understand if to run the daemon I have to log in as 'root' or 'mysql'. For the moment I tried to run "mysqld" from my personal account by 'su' command. Have I do a mistake? > How did you install MySQL?
