To summarize: I was getting a "cannot connect through
socket..." error. It would appear that the server is not running and the
socket doesn't exist. So I tried to start the server (as root) using
safe-mysqld & and mysql.server start, but in either case I recieve the
message:
chown: 'mysql': invalid user
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
020711 13:18:45 mysqld ended
Any suggestions? Keep in mind I'm not an expert with UNIX so it
could be something that seems simple. Thanks again,
-Alex
