I have recently got the direct connection working. The steps were: select 'existng database' and MySQL 'connect directly' select server/port and type in 'localhost' (the port 3306 is default) now select 'socket' and type in the socket address that mysqld gave you when you started it. That was unexpected because it looks as if server and socket are alternatives. My first try give the error 'can't access socket /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' but mysqld actually said '/tmp/mysqld.sock'. good luck Tony Sumner -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
