Michael, Did you verify you have mysql and mysql-server rpms loaded using the rpm -q mysql and rpm -q mysql-server? Additionally if they are loaded did you set the server to autostart? Check to see if they are running using a ps ax|grep mysql?

I downloaded the Popper webmail client, and it said that I would need MySQL installed. I downloaded the binary from www.mysql.com and followed the install instructions, but when I tried to run mysql it gave me an error. I tried running mysql on another machine (which has RH9 complete install on it) and I got the same error. I've pasted the error below. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanx! This is the error: ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) I've checked that location on the server PC and there is no file at that location. It's not on the RH9 complete install PC either... -Michael Sullivan- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
