I had this same problem... for 4 Days! Check the permission on the /var/lib/mysql directory. Check the logs /var/logs/mysql.log to make sure its not crashing or not "connecting" Check the permissions on the /var/run/mysql it should have rwxr-xr-x mysql mysql (this was my problem)
I thought I was being cool by using: chown ./* to change the of all the files in my /var/www directory. I didn't realize I had change everything in ../ which changed ownership on everyting in the /var structure ----- Original Message ----- From: "A.T.Z." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jason Steig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 31, 2002 1:59 AM Subject: RE: Mysql.Sock problem > Is mysql running (ps -axu) > > if not: > /path/to/safe_mysqld --user=mysql & > > This is explained in the docs.... > > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: Jason Steig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Verzonden: dinsdag 31 december 2002 9:08 > Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Onderwerp: Mysql.Sock problem > > > > > I' am relatively new to MySQL and I 'am having a problem with starting > the ./mysql program I always get the mysql.sock error.
