Hello!
VNG> Hi,
VNG> I installed the mysql-3.22.26a version on my
VNG> linux machine and executed the following commands
VNG> Untar it and change into the source directory tree:
VNG> tar -xvzf mysql-3.22.26a.tar.gz
VNG> cd mysql-3.22.26a
VNG> Configure the package; I used following options:
VNG> ./configure --prefix=/opt/mysql
VNG> Build it:
VNG> make
VNG> Install it; as root:
VNG> make install
VNG> You'll then need to configure the installation:
VNG> As root, create the grant tables:
VNG> scripts/mysql_install_db
VNG> As root, start the server:
VNG> /opt/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld &
VNG> As root, create the mysql user:
VNG> useradd -c "MySQL Administrator" -d /opt/mysql -g users
VNG> mysql
VNG> As root, give the installation tree to the mysql user:
VNG> chown -R mysql.users /opt/mysql
VNG> Now when i execute the "mysqladmin
VNG> version " command it says can't connect to local MySQL
VNG> server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'.The MySQL
VNG> server is running but there is no /mysql/mysql.sock so what
VNG> do i need to do now.Thank you.
You need to give write access to /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock for
your mysql user.
for example by
chown mysql /var/lib/mysql -R
chmod 755 /var/lib/mysql
