Hi, I hope I'm at the right list! I'm trying to start mysql -I have installed the db.
Now I'm getting the following: [localhost:~] lloyd% sudo safe_mysqld --user=root & [1] 630 [localhost:~] lloyd% Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data 020623 20:25:20 mysqld ended mysqladmin version ./bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (61)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists! [1] + Done sudo safe_mysqld --user=root [localhost:~] lloyd% mysql ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (61) What do I need to do, please?
