Ok people, I'm desperate for the help. I'm going to try to be as detailed as possible, because I need the two year old explanation. I recently installed MySQL on my Cobalt Raq3. I was running fine, created a db, table created a user, gave some permissions, and thought I was rolling along. Somewhere in setting the permissions and using safe_mysql I messed something up. I am now getting an Error 2002 can't connect to local Mysql through socket var/lib/mysql/mysql.socket. I don't know much about the socket file, so if that has something to do with the problem, I'll need a brief explanation. Can someone PLEASE HELP because I'm desperate to get this fixed yesterday.
Thank you. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
