Hi,
MySQL install do not create socket.This socket it's created when MySQL
daemon it's started.
My suggestion :
1.check if you have already mysqld processes.
2.
- Change the owner of directory which is created for mysql.sock from
"root" to "mysql"
...or
- Change in /etc/my.cnf(in [mysqld] section) the name of directory where
you wish to mysqld create the socket.You must be sure that directory is
*mysql* owner.
3.Start mysqld under init.d directory (/etc/rc.d/init.d...from what i
remember.I don't have Slackware installed in this moment)
Regards,
Gelu
