Newly installed mysql 4.0
(newbie warning) Hi, I just removed 3.23 and installed 4 (the first time I have done an installation.) as per the docs I then tried to make a password for root and ran this from SSH root: # /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'jman77' but got this a reply: /usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists! Why is that? what should I do? Please explain in steps coz am just trying to get the hang of this.

It may also be that it's running, but the MySQL 4 server is using a different socket file than your old 3.23 server. -- Paul DuBois, MySQL Documentation Team Madison, Wisconsin, USA MySQL AB, www.mysql.com MySQL Users Conference: April 14-16, 2004 http://www.mysql.com/uc2004/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Newly installed mysql 4.0
Your mysql server is not running my friend! =) Try /etc/init.d/mysqld start -- this should be able to turn it on! You can not change the passwords with the server off Best Regards On Wed, 2004-03-17 at 14:04, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: (newbie warning) Hi, I just removed 3.23 and installed 4 (the first time I have done an installation.) as per the docs I then tried to make a password for root and ran this from SSH root: # /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'jman77' but got this a reply: /usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!

Hey, thanks for replying. Your mysql server is not running my friend! =) Try /etc/init.d/mysqld start -- this should be able to turn it on! You can not change the passwords with the server off I finally found the correct place to start and did this: /usr/sbin/mysqld start but got back this message: Starting MySQL:[FAILED] You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# /usr/sbin/mysqld start 040317 21:30:50 Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use 040317 21:30:50 Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ? 040317 21:30:50 Aborting 040317 21:30:50 /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete Now what do I do?

Okay, that appears to indicate that the server *is* running, so perhaps it's using a different socket file than your old server. Do you have a /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock file? How about /tmp/mysql.sock? Try using mysqladmin to connect using a TCP/IP connection rather than through the socket file: mysqladmin -u root -h 127.0.0.1 variables If that works, look through the output to see what the value of socket is. -- Paul DuBois, MySQL Documentation Team Madison, Wisconsin, USA MySQL AB, www.mysql.com MySQL Users Conference: April 14-16, 2004 http://www.mysql.com/uc2004/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Newly installed mysql 4.0.
Hey,
Thanks for replying.
I see that my mysql server IS running...
Do you have a /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock file? How about /tmp/mysql.sock?
**That didnt work.
**And neither did this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mysqladmin -u root -h 127.0.0.1 variables
mysqladmin: connect to server at '127.0.0.1' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: NO)'
**Then tried to do a search:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# find / -name *mysql.sock*
find: /proc/23989/fd: No such file or directory
/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]#
**Finally this gave some results
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mysqladmin -u root -p

Nope, anyway to override...delete it, burn it, damn it to hell or just jump on the SOB? Depends. You mentioned earlier that your MySQL start command is: /usr/sbin/mysqld start Does /usr/sbin/mysqld stop stop the current server? If it does not, I suggest that you force the server down with kill -9 PID (where PID is the process ID of the server).
