Hi all, just installed Mysql binaries. When i try to start Mysql using the mysql_safe command, i get the message: [root@palrhsrv /]# /usr/bin/mysqld_safe & [1] 18547 [root@palrhsrv /]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql STOPPING server from pid file /var/lib/mysql/palrhsrv.pid 041108 16:44:48 mysqld ended [1]+ Done /usr/bin/mysqld_safe ************************************ then, when I start the command: [root@palrhsrv bin]# ./mysqladmin create testDB ./mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists! I looked under the var/lib/mysql and obviously the mysql.sock does not exist. I changed permissions under /var/lib/mysql to chown -R mysql and chrgp to daemon. Still getting the same errors. any help? thanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo!
