Hi: Installed the following packages (with no errors) from the Red Hat Linux V7.1 RPM files. It installed MySQL3 3.23.36-1, MySQL-devel3.23.36-1, MySQL-Server3.23.36-1, and MySQLclient9.3.23.22.4.
However, following instructions, I typed in, at the command line, "mysql" and received the following error message "Error 2002 Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket /var/likb/mysql/mysql.sock" (2)". I'm sure that I'm not the first to have this problem, but "bad luck" does tend to follow me. Also, I downloaded the manual and I can't find anything in there discussing the "MySQLclient" application. Can anyone tell me how its used, when it can be used, etc. Thank you in advance Joe Krusick [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
