I'm hoping I can get some help here, I'm trying to get MySQL running on YellowDog Linux 2.4.17 kernel. I've installed the mysql, mysql-server and mysql-devel-3.23.32-1.7a rpms from my install CD. Ran mysql_install_db then changed the group and owner on /var/lib/mysql to root.
This is what shows up in my mysqld.log after trying to run mysql_safed 020204 16:19:56 mysqld started 020204 16:19:56 Can't start server: Bind on unix socket: Permission denied 020204 16:19:56 Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock? 020204 16:19:56 Aborting 020204 16:19:56 mysqld ended There is no mysql.sock on the machine nor is there a mysqld server running. Any Ideas?
