Hi, I am not a root. Our server is at ISP and I am trying to install mysql on our shared server. They have provided one user id and password with which I can access it. I also do not know whether mysql previously exists or not as mysql.sock is existing. (how to find that ?)
I checked the mysql.sock file permissions it is as follows: srwxrwxrwx 1 mysql wheel .....mysql.sock and as it is a special file, I am unable to delete it. shell> rm mysql.sock command gives - permission denied Actually I tried to vi mysql.sock - but ended with something else only now how to proceed ? What shall I check ?
