Hi, Without going into a long drawn out explanation, I was having a problem with something on my system and though that maybe it was because of the upgrade I did to MySQL. So, I decided I was going to unmerge MySQL and emerge it again. That may have been a dumb move, but what the heck, you learn by your mistakes right?
Anyway, that seemed to be fine, but now, I'm getting an error message: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111) I googled for this and gather that it has something to do with the placement of the mysqld.sock file. The problem is the only post that I found that was specific to Gentoo was in German. Since I don't want to screw things up any more than they already are, I'm turning here for help. I do have the file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock How do I fix this? Regards, Colleen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
