MySQL install on SuSE 8.x can't connect to db 'mysql.socket'?
Im trying to configure MySQL on my SuSE box, however when I attempt to run the mysql dameon i get an error. "Can't Connect to MySQL server through socket ' var/lib...../mysql.socket (111).. " I installed mysql using Yast install tool. However I don't understand what I am missing since it supposed to run out of the box right? Also there is no mysql.socket file, is this created when the MySQL server is run? TdA

I've found that a long time ago; when i got that same error it was because i had already started an instance of the mySQL daemon - mysqld. It is unable to start the socket due to there already being a file socket generated within that directory. HTH.

Perhaps it's not started? Try: rcmysql start Kevin
