Hi, Sounds to me like the mysql server isn't running (check with your administrator & ask him/her to start mysql).
If the server is running and you enter the wrong info, you should get the following message.. ERROR 2000: Access denied for user: 'cbslink@localhost' (Using password: YES) Cheers, Andrew -----Original Message----- From: Jim Bahr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 26 September 2002 18:12 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Im New :( Hi, My host is running 3.22.5 on a redhat. Im trying to log in and use the LOAD command but I cant get past 'ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2).' I connecting remotely with putty and sshing in on port 22. at command prompt I was told by host to "mysql -h localhost -u cbslink -p". It then asks for my password, I enter it , then get the above error. Thoughts?
