I could not locate in on TT> my machine, thought it supposed to install with mysql binary. mysql.socket is created when MySQL server starts. So, if you can't find mysql.socket anywhere - your MySQL server is not running (please, check it!). If your MySQL server is really running, set up path to your socket file with "--socket" option of mysqld or edit my.cnf file. You can also create a symbolik link to your socket file. -- For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/ This email is sponsored by Ensita.net http://www.ensita.net/ __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Egor Egorov / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ MySQL AB / Ensita.net <___/ www.mysql.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
