In using MySQLGui v 1.75, I get the following message when I try to connect to the database:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket "(111) What can I do in addition to following the configuration for .my.sql in MySQL.help? I can access the database through the text based mysql client just fine. I downloaded the statically linked Linux binary, so making and installing should not play a role. Here is /etc/my.cnf: [mysqld] datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock [mysql.server] user=mysql basedir=/var/lib [safe_mysqld] err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid Here is ~/.my.cnf: [client] port = 3306 host = localhost user = xxxx # This will be passed to MySQLGUI GUI client only [client_fltk] help_file=/usr/local/doc/MySQL.help client_file=~/.ee/MySQL.options queries_file=~/.mysql/.mysql_history history_length=100 database=test Any help you can offer would be appreciated. A newsgroup of people who are beta testng this software would be helpful. thanks, dion -- Dion Hollenbeck Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home Page: http://www.woodsprite.com Brewing Page: http://hbd.org/hollen --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
