I recently bought the book "MySQL" by Paul DuBois.  I planned to
do everything by the book this time.  Honest; No cheating.  I am
determined to finally exercize the discipline necessary to learn a
program the way you're supposed to, not wing it.

Alas, and alack!  First I read the README and then the README.SuSE
and I find that Suse has made a decision to locate the files
somewhere other than the traditional place until everyone gets
their act together and settles on a standard place for the program
to be installed.  I'll go along with that.

I set up and get the Apache server running and then I turn to the
book.

It says to start the mysql sever by typing mysql options, which I
do.

The response I receive is ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL
server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111)

My question;  Is the reason I'm having trouble because of the
non-standard installation suse has decided to temporarily use or
is it the standard Unix/Linux you can't get there from here
because the documentation is out dated when it's published because
the developers have changed the distribution?

BTH, does anybody know where the ERROR code list is located?

Any help is appreciated.

Rusty
