Hey, thanks for replying.
Your mysql server is not running my friend! =)
Try /etc/init.d/mysqld start <-- this should be able to turn it on! You can not change the passwords with the server off
I finally found the correct place to start and did this:
/usr/sbin/mysqld start
but got back this message:
Starting MySQL: [FAILED]
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# /usr/sbin/mysqld start
040317 21:30:50 Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use
040317 21:30:50 Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?
040317 21:30:50 Aborting
040317 21:30:50 /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete
Now what do I do?
Okay, that appears to indicate that the server *is* running, so perhaps it's using a different socket file than your old server.
Do you have a /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock file? How about /tmp/mysql.sock?
Try using mysqladmin to connect using a TCP/IP connection rather than through the socket file:
mysqladmin -u root -h 127.0.0.1 variables
If that works, look through the output to see what the value of "socket" is.
