Hi all, I installed a mysql tarball on RH 6.1 and tried to connect to the mysql server but got a "can't connect to mysql server through socket /tmp/mysql.sock" . If I install mysql with the rpm files and try to connect to the server I get a "can't connect to mysql server through socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock". My question is this: when are these .sock files created and is there anything particular to RH 6.1 that is causing the .sock files not to be created? thanks for any help, Maria Maria B.
