Upgrade from 3.23 to 4.0 - mysql.sock error
Greetings all, I recently upgraded from mysql 3.23 to 4.0 on a Fedora box. I moved the old installation to a directory called old_mysql in my home directory. I can start the new installation using mysqld_safe . Now, when I try to do something like: /new/install/mysqladmin -u root -p version it says it can't connect because there is no /tmp/mysql.sock. And that is the case. The mysql.sock file is in /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock When I do something like: old_mysql/mysqladmin -u root -p version it can connect and, in fact, I can connect to the new mysql server by using old_mysql/mysql -u root -p Should I just go on using the old clients? Why is there no /tmp/mysql.sock? How can I make mysql create one?

Re: Upgrade from 3.23 to 4.0 - mysql.sock error
The correct way to deal with this is to edit /etc/my.cnf and, in the mysqld section set the location of the socket. [mysqld] socket = /tmp/mysql.sock if there are other systems expecting it to be at the new location, a simple end run might be to create a link at /tmp/mysql.sock - /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. - michael dykman - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jough P wrote: Greetings all, I recently upgraded from mysql 3.23 to 4.0 on a Fedora box.

Re: Upgrade from 3.23 to 4.0 - mysql.sock error
Okay, so what I did to solve this was: ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock That seems like a bit of a hack though. The my.cnf file has this line: socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock Anyone know why it's looking in /etc ?

You can use mysqladmin -h127.0.0.1 variables to determine where the socket file should be (according to the MySQL server). Assure that it is indeed /tmp/mysql.sock as you/the client think it is.

Getting started - mysql.sock error
Hi, Iam back on this list after being diverted by job change - moving house etc. I've just set up one of my machines with Mandrake 9.0 and went for the included MySQL install (3.23). When I try to do anything I get an error saying that the 'mysql.sock' could not be found. I remember that this has been a regular chestnut but can't find any solutions in the archive or elsewhere. Any clues? If I download and install the v4 RPMs will that cure it? So far I haven't touched MySQL on this Linux box so no seeting should be effective.

The quick answer to your question is create a soft link from where the mysql.sock file is to where it expects it to be.

I had the same problem with suse 7.2. I see that the path to mysql.sock is /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. this location of mysql.sock was a leftover from the mysql that i installed from the distribution. the downloaded version though stores the mysql.sock in /tmp/mysql.sock - i had to tell a few of my programs to look for it there. may you need to add a line in your php program to look for it there good luck harry a. adam wrote: I am having trouble with mysql... i keep getting ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) I uninstalled and reinstalled MySQL rpm (RH 7.1).

This is also what would have been used had you used tksysv, ntsysv or chkconfig to turn the service on. If you use the mysql_install_db as root and then use safe_mysqld, you'll try to run the database as user mysql - but root will own the files. chown -R mysql.mysql /var/lib/mysql should fix the problem. -- Trond Eivind Glomsrød Red Hat, Inc. - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

Mysql.sock Error
My database was working fine then the server crashed and now I am getting this error: ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111) I have checked and verified that the file exists: srwxrwxrwx 1 root root0 Jan 16 23:00 mysql.sock It seems to have 0 bytes but it is there. I have rebooted my server, and I am still getting the error. I don't want to lose what I have in my database is there anyway of fixing this, I have searched the documentation and the only thing on mysql.sock is how to protect it from being deleted. Any help on how to go about fixing this is greatly appreciated.
