Re: Can not connect (again)
The client has to be able to search var/lib/mysql and read and write the var/lib/mysql/mysql.socket. It is probably not able to do one of the above due to imprpoer privileges at the filesystem level.

Can not connect (again)
Ok people, I'm desperate for the help. I'm going to try to be as detailed as possible, because I need the two year old explanation. I recently installed MySQL on my Cobalt Raq3. I was running fine, created a db, table created a user, gave some permissions, and thought I was rolling along. Somewhere in setting the permissions and using safe_mysql I messed something up. I am now getting an Error 2002 can't connect to local Mysql through socket var/lib/mysql/mysql.socket. I don't know much about the socket file, so if that has something to do with the problem, I'll need a brief explanation. Can someone PLEASE HELP because I'm desperate to get this fixed yesterday.

Re: Can not connect (again)
Bonjour, Did you try to connect to the server from network ? Try to force mysql client not to use the socket (what is does when it's connecting to localhost). Try to connect from another server or even from the same server but with the --host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP of the server (not 127.0.0.0 which is localhost !). This way you should be able to shutdown mysqld safely. When you restart Mysql, it will recreate the socket file. Regards, Alex. d Ok people, I'm desperate for the help.

Can not connect again
Ok, that worked. I started MySQL. I still don't know how to shutdown mysql, or if that was my problem. Unfortunately, that is the ONLY way I can log into mysql. Anyway, that would be fine, only now I have an ASP script but I am a privelegas idiot, so I don't know how to set a UID and Password. -- D.

Re: Can not connect (again)
Hi, You are closer.This error is generated only if you wish to connect from the localhost or 127.0.0.1 (i believe).To avoid this inconvenient, in arguments of mysql client,you must put -S path_of_the_mysql.socket.Usualy mysql create the socket file in tmp directory.You can also, made some modification in my.cnf file. I.E. mysql -u mysql(or root) -h localhost -S /tmp/mysql.sock This work ONLY if the mysql daemon is started. And if is not started you can do: safe_mysqld.After this you can verify if the mysql processess are active with ps -ax.
