First of all, please use version 1.7.5. 1.7.2 has too many bugs. You should add socket option under [client] and you should put /usr/local/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock there as well as under [mysqld] options header. You should also make /usr/local/mysql/tmp/ directory scannable etc .. by all, plus with temporary attribute. -- Sincerely, -- For technical support contracts, go to https://order.mysql.com/?ref=msmi __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Mr. Sinisa Milivojevic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ MySQL AB /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ Full time Developer and Support Coordinator <___/ www.mysql.com Larnaca, Cyprus Meet the MySQL at User Conference !
