Just make a symbolic link... Probably it's in /tmp
So as root, "ln -vs /tmp/mysql.sock /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock"
This is always an annoyance with mysql and redhat it seems. *sigh*
How exactly? I mean there cannot be a socket file in /tmp either, because MySQL does not even start properly. For example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] smaisnie]# ln -vs /tmp/mysql.sock /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
create symbolic link `/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' to `/tmp/mysql.sock'
ln: creating symbolic link `/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' to `/tmp/mysql.sock': No such file or directory

Subject: MySQL installation in Fedora Core 1
I intend to build up a web server that is based on Fedora Core 1. Installation and configuration of Apache and PHP4 was pretty simple, but there are some problems in configuration of MySQL. I installed the MySQL server RPM included in the distribution.
Even in the MySQL pages it is mentioned that running "/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start" is enough for post-installation process. However, there is no such file. Running "mysql" leads to an error:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] smaisnie]# mysql
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
Does anyone have any idea how to carry out post-installation process?
Regards Sami Maisniemi
