I think that, at least, the owner of /var/lib/mysql should be "mysql". This way, "mysql" can create the /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock Hope this helps.. Also, be shure that there is no other mysqld process runnig. -- Diana Soares (sql) --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
