There is no file /tmp/mysql.sock to link. In fact what is more bothering me is the file [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. This is not found in the path /var/lib/mysql. Is it OK? And also when I boot my system the mysql daemon starts but immediately it ends up. Does any one have a guess of what's wrong. I am also going to post this to a linux group, may be I think that wud be the right place for this kinda of problem (not sure either) Any help wud be much appreciated Edwin --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
