Hi Bob,
Just for the record, since you didn't elaborate:
- - what version of MySQL? - - what is the full name of the installation package file? - - where did you get it from? (SuSE/mirror via ftp? SuSE CD/DVD?)
it was on the Suse 9.1 cd. I can't get it to tell me what version as it just tells me it can't connect
- - how did you install it? (rpm -???? or YaST Install & Remove Software?)
I used YaST to install it.
- - was there any feedback from the system when you installed it? If so, what was that feedback?
No. It looks like it ran OK. Just won't work but I can confirm it is running with ps ax | grep mysql.
- - do you see anything in /var/log/messages worth mentioning?
Just a duplicate of the error message.
Sorry to be a PITA stickler for detail :-) but knowing all this stuff might narrow the field of possibilities a bit.
Not a PITA. I am happy to get some answers and something new to try. I need to get it running correctly for a project I have to work on.
thanks,
- - Carl
