I got mysql-3.23.47-sun-solaris2.8-sparc.tar from mysql.com, then I untarred it into /mysql.
Then I enter /mysql and did ls: # ls bin include scripts sql-bench tests data lib share support-files # What should I do to set it up now? I entered /mysql/bin and tried running mysql, but get such an error message: # mysql ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) # I don't get it.
