Hi there!
I'm a newbie in using MySQL, and hope that you could help me in the problem
that I've encountered while installing MySQL.
I've downloaded the MySQL source version 3.22.32 from the MySQL website and
will install it on my RedHat Linux 6.2 box with 64Mb of RAM, running on an
AMD K6-2.
And as my reference, I have a copy of O'Reilly's book on MySql and mSQL. I
followed the instruction on how to properly install MySQL:
I logged as root. Then done the following procedures:
gzip -c mysql-2.22.32.tar.gz | tar xvf -
cd mysql-2.22.32
./configure
make
make install
./scripts/mysql_install_db
./bin/mysqladmin version
After I typed in "./script/mysql_install_db" I get the following msg.:
To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server to
the right place for your system.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER!
This is done with:
/usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
See the manual for more instructions.
...
Then, I cd to /usr/local/bin to check if MySQL is running. So, inside
/usr/local/bin ... I invoked ./bin/mysqladmin version but got the error
message:
./mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket 'tmp/mysql.sock'
(111)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists!
Anyone has an idea how to fix this problem? I would really appreciate some
help or directions.
Thanks in advance.
Have a nice day.
