I installed MySQL on Mandrake 8.1 with the rpm. I installed > mysql-server-3.23.41-1 along with the mysql shown. I guess the first thing I would try is to connect using the basic command-line client: [dave@sildara rezzphp]$ mysql -u root -p database_name Enter password: Reading table information for completion of table and column names You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 12 to server version: 3.23.41 Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> If you can establish a connection that way, then you know it's a problem with the GUI client (incorrect config, whatever). If you still can't connect even with the command line client, then it would seem to be a problem with mysql or maybe system file permissions. I don't know enough about mysql to properly troubleshoot it, but the above advice seemed to me to be common sense stuff.

I hereby promise to check md5 sums on all of my rpm downloads _BEFORE_ posting dumb-a?? questions to the list, maybe even before I install rpms. I'm downloading MySQL again now and I'll post again when I screw up again. thanks for the help. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Some installations install mysql.sock in a subdirectory of the mysql.sock depending on the paramaters of the installation. The RPM you are using may have been produced of a build that puts the mysql.sock in a different directory than the default /tmp/mysql.sock. I had this same problem when I tried to compile MySQL on an OSX system. Good Luck, SA Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
