Okay, Just finished installing mySQL. Trying to enter (per fink info mysql) the root password and I get the following:
[Mathew-Rices-Computer:~] mat% mysqladmin -u root password new_password mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists! Now I know I'm probably missing something silly but could someone shed some light on this error? I don't see anything like mysql.sock and can't locate it on my drives. How does one check if mysqld is running. I assume it isn't because I have yet to enter the root password and start things up. I assume password in the above is my admin password and new_password is whatever I want the mySQL_root password to be. Package manager version: 0.11.0 Distribution version: 0.4.9.cvs OS X 10.2.1, Jag Dev tools w/ August u/d Thanks for any help, -Mat ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: See the NEW Palm Tungsten T handheld.
