Please forgive me. I have searched all over for help with this problem to no avail. I have just installed from RPM mysql 3.23.22-6 on a RedHat 7.0 system. I keep getting the message mysqladmin: cannot connect to server at 'localhost' failed error; Can't connect to local MySql server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock check that mysqld is running and that socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock exists. I am using the command: mysqladmin -u root password 'newpassword' Mysqld is running and the file mysql.sock exists. I am new to this. Any help appreciated. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
