Hello
I've established that the MySQL server is running, but I cannot create or do anything
with it. Here is some examples.
[root@www bin]# mysql
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)
[root@www bin]# mysqladmin -u root -p create ecreations
Enter password:
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'
(111)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!
if I go to /var/lib/mysql there is no mysql.sock file
How do I create this? I thought it was supposed to be created when MySQL installs?
I'm running this on a Cobalt RaQ3 server with Cobalt Linux and used RPM to install
MySQL.
Any help is appreciated.
