As mentioned in my post, I can open mysql -u root -p with no problem. MySQL is running, it's just the sock file that is not being created.
If the socket isn't there, it raises the question of how the mysql client is working with no problem, since that socket is how the client normally connects to the server. Unless you've modified the config to enable networking (which you should not unless it is essential to access the server from another machine.)
So there's a socket somewhere. To see where, try this: lsof -U -a -p $( pgrep mysqld ) -- Bill Cole [email protected] or [email protected] (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) Not For Hire (currently)
