you can create my.cnf file with the contents [mysqld] socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
and put it in path. In case you need to know where the my.cnf file should be put, execute: mysqld --help | grep my.cnf or with your command line mysql binary do mysql -uusername -p -S=/tmp/mysql.sock ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kuntrynet Office" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 11:59 AM Subject: Problem with 3.23.22 > I recently installed MySQL version 3.23.22 on a Linux server.
