I am trying to get mysql-server installed from the FreeBSD port but keep getting this dog-gone error -
mysqld started Can't start server: Bind on unix socket: Permission denied Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket: /tmp/mysql.sock? Aborting Okay, so, I do a ps -aux | grep mysql and get nothing, as well as for mysqld. So it's not running. I change permissions on /tmp/mysql.sock to 777 and it still fails, I change ownership to mysql and it still fails - always with the same errror. I rebooted, mysqld is trying to start at bootup, but the log just shows the same error. I copied my-medium.cnf to /etc/my.cnf and verified it is pointing to /tmp/mysql.sock. I even went to far as to delete mysql.sock and create a new one, owned by mysql with wide open permissions, and it still fails, same message. What the heck am I doing wrong? besides installing from the port? -- Chip --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
