Hi, this is Erin Lilly, I've used support before with you all for bodyconsultant.com and you were extremely helpful. I'm installing mysql on erinlilly.net and have run into that common /tmp/mysql.sock (111) error
version: 3.23.45-pc-linux To telnet in as root: erinlilly.net log-admin pw-paws you then need to type in /usr/local to see where I've installed the mysql-3.23.45 Please take a look where I had installed it in /usr/local/mysql-3.23.45-pc-linux-i686 I've created a ln -s from tmp to /usr/local/mysql-3.23.... have created a ln -s from mysql-3.23.45 and mysql What's the problem?? When I go to do the ./bin/safe_mysql & command it turns server on then logs off. Also when I do bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password it gives me the /tmp/mysql.sock (111) not found - even though I have ln -s that tmp directory to the mysql-3.23.45 ... Have tested the telnet erinlilly.net 3306 - and no connection. MY QUESTIONS: 1. What do I need to do to get the connection going. 2. How can I be sure the tables were created. I ran install_db and it appeared to do everything. 3. What do I need to do to make things right here? 4. Have all my ln -s created some inherent problems?
