Please help. I downloaded the binary distribution for
mysql-3.23.55-pc-linux-i686 to run on redhat linux 8.0
I've done the following commands:
shell>> cd /usr/local
shell>> gunzip < /downloads/mysql-3.23.55-pc-linux-i686.tar.gz | tar xvf -
shell>> groupadd mysql
shell>> useradd -g mysql mysql
shell>> ln -s mysql-3.23.55-pc-linux-i686 mysql
shell>> cd /usr/local/mysql
shell>> scripts/mysql_install_db
shell>> bin/safe_mysqld&
when I do this this is what I get:
starting mysql with databases from /var/lib/mysql
030228 16:00:55 mysqld ended
Also when I do the following:
shell>> ./mysqladmin ping
I get the error message:
./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!
When I ran:
shell>> ./mysqlbug
I got the following dialogue:
>Description:
<Getting the following error: "ERROR 2002 can't connect to local
MySQL server through socket /tmp/mysql.sock"
the sql daemon (mysqld) can't start. I think it's because it can't find the
/tmp/mysql.sock file This file doesn't exist. It's not located anywhere on
the system. Please tell me where to get this file. thanks.>
