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.

Thank you
Andrew
