Hi I have just upgraded my MySQL from version 3.23 to 4.0.13.
However I cannot start the server. When I type mysqld_safe & I get the following : [1] 1730 Linux:/# starting mysqld-max daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 030529 11:10:51 mysqld ended [1]+ Done mysqld_safe When I type mysql at the Linux:/# prompt, I get the following : Error 2002 : Can't connect to local MYSQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2). I looked for the file mysql.sock in /var/lib/mysql/ but it was not there. I used "Find File" in Linux and it could not find mysql.sock anywhere on the system. I remember that the file mysql.sock was found at /var/lib/mysql/ in version 3.23. Can you please help ? These are the details of my system : SuSe Linux O.S version 8.1 Professional Kernel version 2.4.19 Machine - Pentium 4 2.00 GHz (Dell optiplex GX260) Thank you Rehaz. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
