hi

******(plz someone help me urgently)******

i have tried the procedure mentioned below but of no avail.
this is the exact message in .err file
"can not start server : bind on unix socket : permission denied
do you have another mysql server running on socket /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock ?
/usr/libexec/mysqld : shutdown complete
mysqld ended
"
---> i am trying to run the server as root
---> there is no such file as /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock
now what to do

regards
alqama


Hi!

a few things to try:
1.- you should never start the server as root, instead try starting
mysql as mysql user
2.- do you have write permission under /var/run/mysql?
Best Regards
