Been there, done that. Didn't change a thing. Guess I should have changed the e-mail before resending it, but I'm not really sure what the problem is. The server won't start for more than a tenth of a second. Here's what happens when I try to start mysqld:
[root@server mysql]# safe_mysqld Starting mysql daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 020527 02:26:27 mysql ended Both statements ('Starting...' and '0205...') pop up within a tenth of a second of each-other and when I check processes, there is nothing that starts with 'my' running. Does that help? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Dobbin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Matt Hargraves" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, May 27, 2002 1:32 PM Subject: Re: Fw: Problem starting server > On 27/5/02 at 12:47, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Matt Hargraves) wrote: > > > I keep getting the following error: > > > > error: 'Can't connect to MySQL server through the socket > > '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) 'Check that mysqld is running and > > that the > > socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists! > > Try the manual: > > <http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/a/Can_not_connect_to_server.html> > > HTH, > > Regards, > > Phil. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > 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?
