Hi, I'm trying to install (compile, since there are no binaries for this system) MySQL on an SCO OPenServer 5.0.6 system.
Prior to compiling MySQL, I installed the following packages for SCO : FSU Pthreads (ver 3.9) GNU Development Tools (ver 5.0.7Kj) Netscape Communicator (ver 4.7.0e) OSS631B - Supplemental Graphics, Web and X11 Libraries (ver 1.2.1) SCO OpenServer Enterprise System (ver 5.0.6j) SCO OpenServer Linker and Application Development Libraries (ver 5.1.2A) SCO SendMail (ver 8.11.0) OSS635A: Graphical Environment Supplement for OpenServer 5.0.6 (ver 1.0.0) OSS646B - Execution Environment Supplement (ver 1.1.0j) RS506A: Release Supplement for SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.6 (ver rs506a) RS506A: Software Manager Supplement (ver rs506a) USB Supplement (ver 1.0a) I followed the manual for compiling and installing MySQL. MySQL compiles just fine. I can use the compiled client to connect to databases running on W2K and linux servers. When I start the server (mysqld-safe --user=mysql --log &), it seems to start fine : Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/var Err log : 031120 10:35:55 mysqld started Log : /var/opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.6Ga/usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld, Version: 4.0.16-log, started with: Tcp port: 3306 Unix socket: /tmp/mysql.sock Time Id Command Argument The socket is there, but when I start "mysql" it just hangs there forever.... When I try "msqladmin status" it also hangs, but when I stop it, I get # mysqladmin status mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (4) ' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists! It's there : # l /tmp/mysq* prwxrwxrwx 1 mysql mysql 0 Nov 20 10:35 /tmp/mysql.sock # Any help would be appreciated, Stefaan Van Dooren .--.
