Hi all, I installed mysql 4.0.14 binary distribution on RedHat 8.0 following the instructions in the manual. But I can't get it to work. Please help.
When I start mysql using the command: shell> bin/mysqld_safe --use=mysql & the following message shows: "Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 030910 01:29:23 mysqld ended" I have no idea what is going on here. If I try to test it with: shell>cd sql-bench; perl run-all-tests I get the following error message: "Got error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/m ysql.sock' (2)' when connecting to DBI:mysql:database=test;host=localhost with u ser: '' password: '' " And mysql log has the following message "030904 13:03:06 mysqld started 030904 13:03:07 InnoDB: Started 030904 13:03:07 Fatal error: Can't open privilege tables: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13) 030904 13:03:07 Aborting 030904 13:03:07 InnoDB: Starting shutdown... 030904 13:03:09 InnoDB: Shutdown completed 030904 13:03:09 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete 030904 13:03:09 mysqld ended " Anyone can tell me what goes wrong here? Thanks a lot. Claire __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
