If you run 'netstat -lnp --unix' (as root), you should see the path to mysqld.sock, or mysql.sock, or similar in the list, assuming mysqld is running and has set up the UNIX domain socket (which it should by default). Maybe it's using /etc/mysql/my.cnf from your old install, and it contains a path to the wrong location for the UNIX domain socket. -- Derrik Pates [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
