TriKster, The "mysql.sock" you refer to is what is known in the *nix world as a named pipe. It is how applications can communicate with each other without using network sockets. When you get the "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock'" That usually means that mysql is not running. Did you try `ps -eaf |grep -i mysql` to see if mysql was running? If it was running, then you know that the mysql client is not looking in the correct place. If you do a "man msql" you'll see that you can add a "-S" flag to specify the socket to use. The fact that mysql doesn't appear to start can be caused by many things that aren't really related to mysql. You said you did a "chmod 755" on the mysql directory. Did you do that as root. If so, how do expect the "mysql user" to write anything to that directory? The first thing you need to do is get mysql running. Try to start mysql and if you get a "mysqld ended" then oviously it's not running and how are you going to connect to a database that's not running? Try su - mysql and then `chmod 755 /var/lib/mysql`. Then try to start mysql again as the "OS" root user. walt -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
