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...)
Thanks,
--Cindy
