I have been trying to install the mysql-3.23.52-pc-linux-gnu-i686.tar.gz on my SUSE Linux 7.3 machine. Everything seems to be going smoothly until I entered the command
./scripts/mysql_install_db I got this output which i believe is ok; cords-orj86jfje:/usr/local/mysql/mysql # ./scripts/mysql_install_db Preparing db table Preparing host table Preparing user table Preparing func table Preparing tables_priv table Preparing columns_priv table Installing all prepared tables 021007 18:15:39 ./bin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! This is done with: ./bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' ./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h cords-orj86jfje password 'new-password' See the manual for more instructions. You can start the MySQL daemon with: cd . ; ./bin/safe_mysqld & You can test the MySQL daemon with the benchmarks in the 'sql-bench' directory: cd sql-bench ; run-all-tests Please report any problems with the ./bin/mysqlbug script! The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at http://www.mysql.com Support MySQL by buying support/licenses at https://order.mysql.com Then I try to enter this command to configure my passwords; Firstly cords-orj86jfje:/usr/local/mysql/mysql # ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql & [1] 1346 cords-orj86jfje:/usr/local/mysql/mysql # Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/mysql/data 021007 19:15:21 mysqld ended [1]+ Done ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql THEN, cords-orj86jfje:/usr/local/mysql/mysql # ./bin/mysqladmin -u root password sqlpass ./bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111)' OR cords-orj86jfje:/usr/local/mysql/mysql # ./bin/mysqladmin -u root sqlpass ./bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists! What am I doing wrong ??
