Somewhat along the same lines, I keep getting a mysql_connect error when
trying to install postnuke. The Postnuke website suggests that it is a
php configuration error. I tried changingmysql.default_host to
127.0.0.1 in php.ini.
Any suggestions?

Hi Pete
I looked at the ps -ef output and saw that mysqld had already started.
SO <slapping forehead>, like i mentioned below, i just killed the existing processes, and the restarted the safe_mysqld command and BOOM, it worked.!!!!
able to go to ./mysqladmin and create dbases now..:)
thanks for your help...

Hi Pete
here are my findings per your suggestion:
-when you changed "permissions' on /var/lib/mysql to be owned by
mysql, did
you also ensure the dir is writeable by mysql? Isn't the group 'mysql'
as not
'daemon'?
reply: I just changed it to 777 to be sure, and started ./bin/mysqld_safe
& and still got the error.
-is there anything in /var/log/mysqld.log or /var/log/messages ?
reply: mysqld.log does not exist and there is nothing in dmesg. (weird)
-make sure /var/log/mysqld.log is writeable by the mysql user
(probably
mysql)
reply: there is no such log either...:)
-that seems like strange place for a pid file, they usually go in
/var/run
reply: there is no pid file located in var/run/
there is however, a "server.err" file that is generated under
/var/lib/mysql. it states that port 3306 is already in use and mysql cannot
be started. so maybe I will start with that one and go from there..
thanks

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 &

[root@palrhsrv /]# Starting mysqld daemon with

/var/lib/mysql/palrhsrv.pid

[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
HI,
what does your /etc/my.cnf file show. If you don't have that, look in
/usr/local/etc
Just curious, why didn't you just install the rpm?
What version of rh & mysql?
Did you follow all the steps for the binary install? (they show about a dozen
steps for a generic unix-like install)
