i have Mac OS X Server and i think MySQL is preinstalled, but it's not running so i tried to start it and got the typical socket error 2002. then i tried this: [mbase:~] ted% safe_mysqld touch: /usr/var/mbase.err: No such file or directory chown: mysql: invalid user name Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/var /usr/bin/safe_mysqld: no such file or directory: /usr/var/mbase.err [229] /usr/bin/safe_mysqld: no such file or directory: /usr/var/mbase.err [235] tee: /usr/var/mbase.err: No such file or directory 020126 02:10:54 mysqld ended tee: /usr/var/mbase.err: No such file or directory
umm, what do i do (if you don't mind helping me out)? thanks in advance, Ted p.s. 'mbase' is the host name. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
