RE: Need Help About mysql.sock ERROR
:-) I think the first issue is to make sure that the server is running. Typically the 'sock' file issue will solve itself if the server is running. -Original Message- From: Ernesto Silva [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2003 12:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Need Help About mysql.sock ERROR You have several options, here is, I think, the easiest: First you need to locate the sock file.

Re: help with mysql.sock error
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).

Re: help with mysql.sock error
su nobody ls -l /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock Whatever user is trying to get it [such as nobody for a web server usually or the user]- make sure the user can access the file. Make sure you don't have maybe /var/lib/mysql to be 750 or something like that.

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?
