RE: Getting started - mysql.sock error
Ed, Its slightly difficult doing it exactly as my email is on my W2K laptop - but here goes: 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! If I run mysqld, I get an error: Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission denied Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock ? Please un-stump me.
