Dear sir,
I have installed mysql-max-3.23.51.tar file on linux machine.
I gave all options which they have given in the INSTALL BINARY file.
such as
shell> groupadd mysql
shell> useradd -g mysql mysql
shell> cd /usr/local
shell> gunzip < /path/to/mysql-VERSION-OS.tar.gz | tar xvf -
shell> ln -s mysql-VERSION-OS mysql
shell> cd mysql
shell> scripts/mysql_install_db
shell> chown -R root /usr/local/mysql
shell> chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/data
shell> chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql
shell> chown -R root /usr/local/mysql/bin
shell> bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql &
When enter the last statement like :" ./bin/mysqladmin -u root -p
password 'solutions'
Enter password:solutions" I getting error like..
./bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'solutions'
Enter password:
./bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock'
exists!
Please give me an idea to recover this problem.
Perumal.
