Hey,
Thanks for replying.
I see that my mysql server IS running...
> Do you have a /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock file? How about /tmp/mysql.sock?
**That didnt work.
**And neither did this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mysqladmin -u root -h 127.0.0.1 variables
mysqladmin: connect to server at '127.0.0.1' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: NO)'
**Then tried to do a search:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# find / -name *mysql.sock*
find: /proc/23989/fd: No such file or directory
/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]#
**Finally this gave some results
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mysqladmin -u root -p

-r, --relative Show difference between current and previous values when
used with -i. Currently works only with extended-status.

-S, --socket=name Socket file to use for connection.
-i, --sleep=# Execute commands again and again with a sleep between.
-u, --user=name User for login if not current user.
-v, --verbose Write more information.

-E, --vertical Print output vertically. Is similar to --relative, but
prints output vertically.
