Hi guys,
I'm new here and need help.
I'm installing MySQL on FreeBSD 4.7. I actually had/have MySQL installed
but when I'm trying to run it says:
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!
I checked /tmp/mysql.sock' and the file exists.
But I don't see any process that would show me mysqld is running.
Then I tried to re-install it from the ports and it says:
You appear to already have a mysql database directory in /var/db/mysql.
In order to preserve your existing data, you should:
- dump all your databases
- kill mysql if it is running
- delete the /var/db/mysql directory
- run 'make install'
- start up mysql
- re-create all of your database
- re-load your data
If you understand the consequences of this upgrade, please re-build this
port with the environment variable OVERWRITE_DB defined.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/databases/mysql323-server.
Please help, what should I do?
Best Regards, Anton
