Good day List, I have just upgraded from 3.23 ->4.0.16 I downloaded all the RPM's and then ran rpm -U *.rpm
It did all that it was supposed to do, and then told me to use the /usr/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables script which I did got horrid errors ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) So I specified mysql_fix_privilege_tables root_password Same Errors (2002) Tried the other method that is on the mysql manual mysql_fix_privilege_tables --password=root_password Same error 2002. now Unfortunately I am unable to even connect to mysql with either mysqladmin or the client. MySQL-bench-4.0.16-0.i386.rpm MySQL-client-4.0.16-0.i386.rpm MySQL-devel-4.0.16-0.i386.rpm MySQL-embedded-4.0.16-0.i386.rpm MySQL-Max-4.0.16-0.i386.rpm MySQL-server-4.0.16-0.i386.rpm MySQL-shared-4.0.16-0.i386.rpm MySQL-shared-compat-4.0.16-0.i386.rpm is a list of the RPMS that I downloaded and ran. Any ideas and help would be most appreciated.
