I have been instructed that after the installation I can start up MySQL by running the following command lines:
[Computer:/usr/local/mysql] mark% sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe Password: Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data 030707 12:31:53 mysqld ended
[Computer:/usr/local/mysql] mark% bg bg: No current job.
Instructions state that I should now be able to connect to MySQL server, e.g. by running
[Computer:/usr/local/mysql] mark% /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (61)
It appears that the server is not running...any suggestions?
I have checked to see if the mysql.sock exists and it appears to be there:
[Computer:/usr/local/mysql] mark% ls /tmp
501 mysql.sock printers printing.462
Thank you, Mark D
