(newbie warning) Hi, I just removed 3.23 and installed 4 (the first time I have done an installation.) as per the docs I then tried to make a password for "root" and ran this from SSH root:
# /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'jman77' but got this a reply: /usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists! Why is that? what should I do? Please explain in steps coz am just trying to get the hang of this.
