Hi, I recently had some questions about converting files and haven't had the chance to work further with it or thank everyone for the help. So thanks a lot. I found that my application needed to have a dedicated MySQL installation. There is another version of MySQL running on this machine (RedHat 6.2 MySQL-3.23.6 and 3.23.8). I got it compiled correctly and configured it for a different port and owner. The daemon started. In the configuration options I set a new name for the socket mysql-lpmo.sock . I was thinking that the socket would be automatically created, but that doesn't appear to be the case, Does anyone have any information on the correct procedure for doing this? Thanks Very Much, -Eric --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
