The error is just telling you the server isn't there. Is this RH? If it is run..
#>service mysqld restart and see what messages you get if any and also check /var/log/mysqld.log and see what messages it is giving. If it shows it started correctly, connect from the command line before doing anything with phpBB and make sure you can get around. Otherwise you won't be able to tell if the problem is from phpBB or from mysqld. -----Original Message----- From: Don Matlock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 04, 2004 7:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MYsql wont start Hi all, I was able to get mysql up and running and installed phpBB to boot. Upons reboot I noticed that the mysql daemon was timing out...when I log into it this is the error I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mysql -u root -p Enter password: ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# (p.s. x's are me hiding my ip address) Any thoughts?
