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.
"Didn't work"? I didn't ask you do try anything, I just asked if either of those files exist.
**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)'
That's a good sign, actually. I means that mysqladmin was able to find the server and attempt to connect to it. That's good. The server rejected the connection attempt, so that's not so good. :-)
I would next ask you to try specifying your password:
mysqladmin -u root -p -h 127.0.0.1 variables
except that you may not know it, correct?
**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
The following occurs because you didn't tell mysqladmin to do anything, so it prints its help message. This would happen regardless of whether the server is running.
[etc]
