>Description: After installing the mysql server i moved it to my home dir under SQL. Tried running the configure script first. Then i tried mysqladmin version but it doesnt help. It says that not able to find /tmp/mysql.sock file.
The message prompted is as follows. ./bin/mysqladmin version ./bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists! Wonder whats wrong. Can somebody prompt me on this.!!! < of the problem (multiple )> >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Submitter-Id: <submitter ID> >Originator: Imran khan >Organization: >MySQL support: [none | licence | email support | extended email support ] >Synopsis: Not able to get the server up and going. >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Category: mysql >Class: support >Release: mysql-3.23.49a (Official MySQL Binary) >Environment: System: Linux asterix 2.4.2-2 #1 Sun Apr 8 20:41:30 EDT 2001 i686 unknown Architecture: i686 Some paths: /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/gmake /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc GCC: Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-81) Compilation info: CC='gcc' CFLAGS='-Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -Wid-clash-51 -Wswitch -Wtrigraphs -Wcomment -W -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat -Wimplicit-function-dec -Wimplicit-int -Wparentheses -Wsign-compare -Wwrite-strings -Wunused -mcpu=pentiumpro -O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer' CXX='gcc' CXXFLAGS='-Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -Wid-clash-51 -Wswitch -Wtrigraphs -Wcomment -W -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat -Wimplicit-function-dec -Wimplicit-int -Wparentheses -Wsign-compare -Wwrite-strings -Woverloaded-virtual -Wextern-inline -Wsign-promo -Wreorder -Wctor-dtor-privacy -Wnon-virtual-dtor -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -mcpu=pentiumpro -O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer' LDFLAGS='' LIBC: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Oct 29 15:00 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.2.2.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1236396 Apr 7 2001 /lib/libc-2.2.2.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26350254 Apr 7 2001 /usr/lib/libc.a -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 178 Apr 7 2001 /usr/lib/libc.so Configure command: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --enable-assembler --with-extra-charsets=complex --enable-thread-safe-client --with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static --with-client-ldflags=-all-static --with-other-libc=/usr/local/mysql-glibc '--with-comment=Official MySQL Binary' --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --with-extra-charset=complex --enable-thread-safe-client --enable-local-infile 'CFLAGS=-Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -Wid-clash-51 -Wswitch -Wtrigraphs -Wcomment -W -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat -Wimplicit-function-dec -Wimplicit-int -Wparentheses -Wsign-compare -Wwrite-strings -Wunused -mcpu=pentiumpro -O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer' 'CXXFLAGS=-Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -Wid-clash-51 -Wswitch -Wtrigraphs -Wcomment -W -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat -Wimplicit-function-dec -Wimplicit-int -Wparentheses -Wsign-compare -Wwrite-strings -Woverloaded-virtual -Wextern-inline -Wsign-promo -Wreorder -Wctor-dtor-privacy -Wnon-virtual-dtor -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -mcpu=pentiumpr! o -O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer' CXX=gcc --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
