Ah, this is a little different. I know there are a couple of OS's (redhat AFAIK) that place the mysql socket in a different location http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/problems-with-mysql-sock.html Your socket has probably been placed in a spot where the server is not expecting it. You may need to update the my.cnf files to reflect the correct location or add a --socket option to the server when it starts.

Nah, that's not the case my friend. I made sure that when I installed mysql that the old one was completely removed. But, I do think I figured something out. I was reading the MySQL documentation and it said that if I was having problems with mysql_install_db that I should move the mysql directory, the one with all my information, to mysql.old and try the mysql_install_db. I did that and every thins seemed to go just fine. Now my problem is with this: <snip> boxster# /usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'flNT3b4c' /usr/local/bin/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! </snip> Have you ever seen that error before? Now I cant connect at all. :( On 5/29/06, Logan, David (SST - Adelaide) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Daniel, Is this actually the instance that you have just installed? I know that sounds trite but if it is running during the installation maybe it hasn't been able to start the new server and you are still trying to connect to the old one. Kill the server currently running, restart it and try again.

Yeah when I ran it the first time I get this message: <snip> boxster# /usr/local/bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql Installing all prepared tables Fill help tables To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands: /usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' /usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h boxster.mydomain.com password 'new-password' See the manual for more instructions.
