The default MySQL config for F13 is pretty minimal and is held in /etc/my.cnf - if I read it right its expecting to listen on a Unix socket rather than a TCP/IP port. That message suggests that mysqld can accept connections via shared memory, a named pipe (aka Unix socket) or a TCP/IP port and your configuration doesn't specify any of these. Find your MySQL configuration file and post it here so we can see how its set up. On a F13 set-up the mysqld configuration is defined in /etc/my.cnf and there's a note to that effect in the MySQL startup script, /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld. IIRC you're running Ubuntu, which is derived from Debian rather than RedHat, so the mysqld configuration may be elsewhere. However, "locate my.cnf" should find it. Martin
