RE: Uninstalling and Troubleshooting RPM

[Scott Gerhardt]

Sir,

What OS are you running?
What version of MySQL are you trying to install?
What RPMs are you trying to install?

 Subject: Uninstalling and Troubleshooting RPM
 
 
 I am very frusturated as of right now. I have a mysql database 
 that doesn't 
 work on Cobalt Raq3. I installed the RPM version and guess what 
 the mysql.sock 
 file isn't there and ther server gives me this error when starting:
 
 Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
 mysqld daemon ended
 
 Then it gives me when i connect with command prompt mysql
 
 Can't connect can't connect through mysql.sock and it may not exist
 
 I am so frusturated now all I want to do is uninstall this rpm 
 and install the 
 source files. The bottom line is that the command rpm -e filename 
 doesn't work 
 it gives me an error filename is not installed. The truth is it 
 is installed 
 and I want it to work. I will be happy for a solution to either 
 to fix this 
 sock problem or uninstall this software all 3 
 rpm's(client,server, and devel) 
 so I can just install the source tarball.
 
 Any suggestions
 Brent

There is no mysql.sock because mysqld is not running.
Did you check the log files to see what happened?
