(newbie warning)
Hi,
I just removed 3.23 and installed 4 (the first time I have done an
installation.) as per the docs I then tried to make a password for
"root" and ran this from SSH root:
# /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'jman77'
but got this a reply:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket:
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!
Why is that? what should I do?
Check that mysqld is running. That's the kind of error you get if the
server isn't running.
It may also be that it's running, but the MySQL 4 server is using a different
socket file than your old 3.23 server.
