G'day,

I keep on getting the following error message  when trying to connect to
MySQL - ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through  socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'

This can be fixed by creating a link from the /tmp/mysql.sock file. Which I
have done and still get the same error

I have searched on Google and on Mysql.com (plus a whole range of other
Linux sites) and I realize the default directory for Mysql was the directory
as it comes with RH7.2  - I have re-installed a newer version of MySQL with
RPMs and still get the same error.

Before I try re-install with the binary version has anybody had  a similar
problem ?

Thanks.
Andrew
