Yes, Linux RH9 2.4.08 When I run the /opt/lampp/lampp start command, Apache starts, SSL, starts and another service, mysql seems to start. But when I try to connect to mysql with admin or cc or other tools, so I can setup databases and tables, it tells me mysql is not running.
Then I issue /opt/lampp/bin/mysql start to get mysql to start and this is when I get the can not connect to mysql.sock Michael, OK, what you said makes sense, but I thought I WAS starting the msql SERVER. I did not realize I was inadvertently starting the client. I have never had to manually start mysql before. In win2k pro it is installed as a Service, which I can set to manual and start when I want. So I was starting Apache, then mysql as services. So now I ran /opt/lampp/bin/mysqld Got NO file or directory. Went into bin direwctory and found there is NO mysqld, but there is a mysql.server, so I ran /opt/lampp/bin/mysql.server and then I get this error message. .Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /opt/lampp/var/mysql 040614 14:57:40 mysqld ended That was after I tried it and got the following because I had created a directory called /mysql.sock thinking before it needed this directory. then I go this error, so I REMOVED the directory. .Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /opt/lampp/var/mysql rm: cannot remove `/opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock': Is a directory 040614 14:56:50 mysqld ended So, HOW does Xampp Normally start mysql, when I issue the /opt/lampp/lampp start command ? Since it isn't HOW do I Start mysql so I can finally get it to work. My O/S is Linux RH9 2.4.08 complete custom install with ALL packages and features. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
