Be shure you don't have any mysqld running: # ps auxw | grep mysqld If you have, kill all processes (i don't think you have). I believe you don't have permission to create mysql.sock. Find where mysql would create the socket: # my_print_defaults mysqld | grep socket --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock or # /usr/sbin/mysqld --help | grep socket --socket=... Socket file to use for connection Unix socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock and check the user "mysql" permissions to write on the directory found. In this case, you should check permissions /var/lib/mysql. Al least, you should have: # ls -ld /var/lib/mysql/ drwxr-xr-x 10 mysql mysql 4096 Mar 12 10:39 /var/lib/mysql/ Don't forget to substitute /var/lib/mysql by your directory. -- dsoares (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?
