Ok, I think I have mentioned this like 3 times already. there is no mysql.sock anyplace on my system. I need a mysql.sock file.
I have set the symbolic links. Originally they were in the /var/lib/mysql directory, then I changed it to the /tmp directory per so many peoples advice. not mater what I HAVE NO mysql.sock file. I need a mysql.sock file. Can someone send me a mysql.sock file so I can place the mysql.sock file in the appropriate directory of what is in the myysql.sock file so I can make one myself.
