I just installed mysql-3.23.36-1.i386.rpm, mysqlclient9-3.23.22-4.i386rpm
and mysql-server-3.23.36-1.i386rpm over Redhat 7.1. I followed instructions
both in Redhat's manual and www.mysql.com/doc/P/o/Post-installation.html.
following links to and reading 2.4.2 Problems Starting the MySQL Server
including the comments section.
So, backing up a bit, after successfully intalling the grant tables, I
tried to start the server from /usr/bin with "safe_mysqld &".
A message came back:
[root@gopala bin]# Starting mysql daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
010815 08:55:47 mysql ended
and the curser froze. I hit return and got the message:
[1]+Done safe_mysql.
To just check to see if the server is running anyway, I entered "mysqladmin
version". Message came back:
[root@gopala bin]# mysqladmin version
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed.
error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql.sock (111)
Check that mysql is running and that the socket (same as above) exists.
Checked /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. It exists with permissions: srwxrwxrwx.
Thinking that I may have installed the packages wrong, I uninstalled and
reinstalled.
Got the same messages.
Is there some other configuration, not mentioned in the docs, that I must
deal with to allow mysql.sock to accept connections?
Any clues as to what's going on?
