Good afternoon one and all, Well, I took the plunge and am trying to get to grips with this Linux and have fallen at the first hurdle with MySQL. When I type mysql from my shell prompt (logged in as root) I get the following message
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) I've done some searching and it looks like mysqld needs starting so I ran safe_mysqld & and got this: [root@Linux /root]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 020329 16:49:58 mysqld ended I know I must have missed something obvious but if anyone could give me any pointers I'd be grateful.
