re install socket error
Hi Thanx for your response. Umm I have read the manual. As far as I know probs running as root are basically security. This is a test box which isn't on the net. I've tried running safe_sqld from the /support-files directory which is the only place it appears. Same thing "command not found" Could u send a link for searching the archives - I couldn't find it on the site. Your patience is appreciated - I know its not much fun dealing with newbies.

install probs - socket error
Hi I tried a rh7 automatic install and it died when I tried to run it. Then I tried installing rh7 without mysql and doing a source install. It ran: configure make make install mysql_install_db all fine. Although I'm a little doubtful about the last one cause it didn't seem to take much time. But if I try: scripts/mysql.server start I get command not found. (yes the file is there) And if I just type: mysql I get: "Can't connect to local Mysql server through socket 'var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' When I go to that directory and do a ls -al it is empty. So how do I create this file. If it is not specific to my system can someone just mail me one. I'm doing all this as root - do I need special permissions to this dir and file.
