It appears that an application I've been trying to run (RelataMail/Relata CRM) deletes the mysql.sock from my system. I'm running Redhat 8.0 with MySQL 4.0.13. Is there any way to restore the mysql.sock file (eg, from the rpm) without having to rebuild the whole system? (Reinstalling MySQL didn't help.)
Creigh Sounds like you are running applications as root. Very bad. Otherwise the 'user' that runs RelataMail should not be able to delete files owned by the 'user' that runs mysqld. There are dozens of ways around this problem, the one of the easiest is to set a dedicated user for mysqld (make an entry in /etc/password similar to the following -- adjusted for your system of course :) mysql:x:27:27:MySQL:/usr/local/mysql:/bin/bash and add the 'user' command to my.cnf : # The MySQL server [mysqld] user = mysql .... -- mysql, query -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
