quick solution addemdum
In addition to the mysql, quick solution question: the error is literally: ERROR 2002 [HY000]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (61) I thought that the server would create the mysql.sock file when it started if it didn't exist so as root I removed it. I received the same error as above accept for (2) on the end rather than (61); I thought back to linux use days and vaguely remembered having a similar problem and never did find out how the mysql.sock file is created. Impatience won over laziness and I did read the O'Reilly MySQL Reference Manual and it did say lots about protecting the mysql.sock file but not how to recreate it if it has been eliminated. I guess that's the essence of my original question: How do you recreate the mysql.sock file if it has been eliminated or in this case corrupted by a system power failure.

Restart it and it will recreate the socket file. If it refuses to start, look at the err file in /var/db/mysql . -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
