I have searched the net and mysql site and ran accross this list. I'm sure I have a simple problem. BTW, does this list have a searchable archive? I hate to post something which I'm sure is common.
Any way, I have a freash install of slackware and I selected the mysql option. If I just type "mysql" I get "Error 2002: Can't connecto to local MySQL server through socket'/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)" I read on the mysql site that this was sopposted to be in /tmp, but when I tried to copy it I get... ":cp reading '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' : Invalid arguement" If I type "safe_mysqld" I get "Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 011229 20:53:01 mysqld ended" but I don't have a process running!!! under the directory /var/lib/mysql I have a file slackware.err if I cat it out it says... "mysqld started /usr/libexec/mysqld: Table 'mysql.host' doesn't exist mysql ended" Ok, if I can't start it how do I create a table? -nathan _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
