Hello, I'm new to MySQL and to linux. I'm using an Omnibook XE3 with RAM 254 on SuSE linux 8.1. In one of the slots of a Texas instrument pcmcia I have a Xircom PC card modem 56K. During startup this has to be disconnected when linux is "starting hardware scan on boot" - but otherwise works OK.
I have loaded MySQL 3.23.55 as an RPM for i386 an this works OK and I logout and login as another user without problems ### but when the computer is shutdown and restarted it appears as if the mysql.sock disappears. Or am I unable to start the "mysql server"???? When I try the comand mysql etc i get Error 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) I have tried to stick the socket with shell> chmod +t /var/lib/mysql and shell> ls -ld /var/lib/mysql confirmes the last permission to t (as suggested onpage 724 in the ref manual). I have also made a binary installation mysql-3.23.55-pc-linux-i686 or something with pretty much the same result. In essens: I lose mysql.sock when the computer is restarted or I'm unable to start the msql server and "reestablish" the msql.sock after reboot and Before I restart the computer MySQL works very OK both with rpm install and binary install What to do? What do I do wrong?
