Hi all,

can someone please decipher this cryptic error message.

After trying to set the password with:

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root 'new-password'

i get

'can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock (111)' check that 
mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists'.

could this mean that something has gone wrong during the installation?

cheers
