Odd problem issueing commands at the console
Just installed 3.23.37 on Red Hat 7.0 from source. I've done this a few times but this time I encountered a mysterious problem. a) server is started and runs under my designated user (mysqladm:mysqlgrp) b) /usr/local/mysql/bin is in PATH of both root and mysqladm c) using either of these users, when I issue a mysql command (here mysqlshow): mysqlshow: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) d) when I cd to /usr/local/mysql/bin and issue the command as shown it succeeds: $ ./mysqlshow +-+ | Databases | +-+ | mysql | | test | +--+ What's going on here?

Re: Odd problem issueing commands at the console
Could it be that you have two mysql client binaries accessing two different config files - some remainders of a previous MySQL installation?

Re: Odd problem issueing commands at the console
You must have an rpm installation of mysql and your source installation. Check to see if there are mysql* commands within /usr/bin directory. It's going to search there first, then /usr/local/bin. The commands within /usr/bin are going to look for the mysql-everthing within /var/lib/ Jonathan - Original Message - From: Peter Matulis [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mysql (E-mail) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2001 12:02 PM Subject: Odd problem issueing commands at the console Just installed 3.23.37 on Red Hat 7.0 from source.
