Good Evening! I have installed Mysql from RedHat 8.0 and am having difficulties starting mysql. I check the my.cnf file and it appears fine as all files it calls for are in the right directories. When I attempt to start mysql, I get a cannot connect through mysql.sock. What is causing this or put more simply, where did I screw up?? Any help would be appreciated.
