We all started at one time or another....
When I ran the mysql-setup.sh script (from a terminal window as root in the
same directory as the script with 'sh mysql-setup.sh' ) I got a series of
messages saying: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: Can't connect to local Mysql server through socket 'var/lib/mysql.sock'
(2)
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket:'var/lib/mysql.sock' exist!
Before running the script I edited the password in the file to be my own chosen
password, saved the file and re-opend it to check that I had changed it
correctly.
try this:
/sbin/service mysqld status
to see if it's running or not. It probably isn't. If it's not:
/sbin/service mysqld start
And it should fire up. You should be able to change what service load at
boot time by using 'ntsysv' if I remember right. You can also set mysql
to start automatically by:
/sbin/chkconfig mysqld on
BTW,
If I can get past this one, is there a script I can run to install the whole
system on Fedora core 4? Are there any bits I need to edit?
There sure is. You can use the install script set up by Nick and Erik,
located at http://ww.qmailtoaster.com/info/current-install-script.sh to
install everything for you. You'll need to edit the top of the file, and
change DISTRO=cnt40 to fdr40 for your case. If you read the document
"CentOS 4 & qmailtoaster the easy way" or the "QmailToaster Mail Server
the VERY easy way" file, almost everything will be the same for your
case. Just skip over the steps you've already performed, and use fdr40
instead of the cnt40 switch for the packages. It's a couple scripts, but
the documents will tell you where to wget them from.
