Hi everyone, Somewhat new to the list (and very new to mySQL), so thanks for you help in advance. I installed RedHat 7.1 (Seawolf) on a PC, and it came with mysql 3.23.36. I logged in as a regular admin user and typed mysql to get started... see what I could get accomplished just playing around.
[chris@the_pc /] $ mysql ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) [chris@the_pc /] $ mysqld 020530 17:43:26 Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Address already in use 020530 17:43:26 Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock ? 020530 17:43:26 Aborting [chris@the_pc /] $ cd /var/lib/mysql [chris@the_pc /] $ ls -F mysql/ mysql.sock= test/ the_pc.log OK, so mysql.sock is a socket... and it exists. I checked the setup program, and mysqld is set to run at system start, but disabling this did not help at all. Any ideas/tips?
