Ok. SuSE 7.3 Digital HiNote VP745 mysql Ver 11.17 Distrib 3.23.49a for pc-linux-gnu
Prior to completely reinstalling my SuSE system, I was running mysql 3.23.47 for SuSE I have installed the .tar.gz and followed those instructions I have installed the RPM's using the -i, and also installed the RPM's using Yast1 package installer. Each time I have reformatted my system and re-installed in order to insure I did not have stray variables hanging around from the previous installation. When I execute mysqld -u root -p <password> I am presented with the default variables. When I execute safe_mysqld the following message is given Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 020305 07:36:44 mysql ended I have insured that the mysql_install_db has indeed placed the permission databases in that directory, and that the variables listed in the my.cnf are indeed correct. After starting the safe_mysqld and trying to run mysqladmin create <databasename> I get the message: mysqladmin:connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists! Running locate mysql.sock returns no such file, which would be correct since the mysqld daemon never started. has anyone had this particular problem. I can assure you I have followed the instructions in the documentation I have been repetedly poited to numerous times. What I am also sure, is that the documentation is also more than likely 'assuming' something that is NOT in the docs. Any ideas what I am missing? I do not know what I am missing here, that is causing the ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Helms" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'mysql'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2002 6:54 PM Subject: Re: mysql on Linux > Mark, > > This probably won't get you the response you wanted.
