Try: ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock
C:heers! -----Original Message----- From: Cindy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 1:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: mysql.sock Sorry, I know this is documented somewhere, because I've seen it, but I can't find it now, nor remember exactly what it said. When I try to connect to the mysql server (mysql -u root -p <table>), I get an error about /tmp/mysql.sock. I've searched both http://lists.mysql.com/ and http://www.mysql.com/manual.php using the available search functions, and leafed through Paul's mysql book and can't find it, which drives me bats because I KNOW I've seen it somewhere.... Anyway, what is the problem here? Do I have to take it down and start it up again? I'm pretty sure the problem is that the file has been deleted, probably a cron job, but I can't remember the fix. Tried touching it to make it exist again, but of course no go. (And a pointer to the documentation would be welcomed, too...)
