Chek your my.cnf file and see where it points to for the mysql.sock file.it should be under the client portion of it. if you don't have a my.cnf file hat's your prob right there. Copt one of the cnf files to /etc and you should be up and running. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
