Hi,
The problem was due to permissions in the end, i used
the following commands to get into the database:
shell> chown -R root .
shell> chown -R root ./bin
shell> bin/safe_mysqld --user=root &
bin/mysqladmin version
.
.
bin/mysql
I can now use the database, but it still doesn't
explain why i
probably something wrong with the permissions in the mysql database.
as a workaround, try to connect not via the local socket, but via a
tcp/ip-connection:
# mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u my-user -p my-database
or insert the real ip of the machine instead of the loopback address.
check if there
this file is created when MYSQL starts
check the directory to ensure it has the correct read-write permissions
check the list archives; this question has been asked almost every day
