When I try to connect in Knoda or mysqlcc I get the following message: [@localhost:3306] ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I don't know anything about databases , so if you need more info please feel free to ask. I want to set up a database for a couple of hundred products with the following info like: product number , price, min and max stock and other things I cannot think of it now.

Sounds like mysql simply isn't running. Check with "rcmysql status", and start it with "rcmysql start" if it isn't.

Don't forget to read the docs in /usr/share/doc/packages/mysql/ And don't forget to set the password for the admin user, it will tell you how the first time you start it
