Is mysql running (ps -axu) if not: /path/to/safe_mysqld --user=mysql &
This is explained in the docs.... -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Jason Steig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Verzonden: dinsdag 31 december 2002 9:08 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: Mysql.Sock problem I' am relatively new to MySQL and I 'am having a problem with starting the ./mysql program I always get the mysql.sock error. I know this mysql.sock file is used when the local machine is the mysql server. Likewise I can't start mysql.server or mysqld. I' am trying to start it as root. I know this is not a good practice. The first think I have to do is (./mysql -u (User) password). This is what allows me to create a user to run mysqld? Correct? --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
