>Description:
I have just installed MySQL 4.0.4 on Linux kernel 2.4.2-2 on a
Hewlett-Packard
Kayak machine. I ran the mysql_install_db script with no problems,
but am unable
to create a root password as directed by the script. I have started
MySQL with
./bin/mysqld_safe & as directed by the script, but when I try to
create a root
user with ./bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'thepword', I get:
./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!
This is the first install of MySQL on this server (and my first try
at installing).
I'm also wondering where you copy the support-files/mysql.server in
Linux?
