at first when trying to run mysql it did this: [root@shadow mysql]# bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql & [1] 3124 [root@shadow mysql]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 021121 02:27:42 mysqld ended
[1]+ Done bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql then, i stopped mysql and gave the command again and it seemed to work: [root@shadow mysql]# bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql & [1] 5456 [root@shadow mysql]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql however, when trying to connect to mysql it does this still: Enter password: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists! any help appreciated --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
