Installed mysql via yast. when trying to launch mysql, it states, ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) Searched google and find a few solutions: 1. run mysqld_safe as root and got following error Stopping server from PID file /var/lib/mysql/linux.site.pid mysqld ended 2. Added a line to mysql.server ln -s /usr/share/mysql/mysql.server /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S99mysql Still no joy! There is no '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' on the server. Any idea? Trying to figure this out for days. Regards, Kai
Hi Kai,
I've found myself that installation via Yast is not fully operational.
Have you tried manually running the following command?
*mysql_install_db --user=mysql*
It is often necessary to set up the initial account.

Kai stupid question: are you sure the server is running (you can do that in Yast, run level editor)
then: have you tried to start with mysql --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock ? if this works, then you have to edit /etc/my.cnf -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Switzerland professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com special interest site: http://www.bauer-nudes.com
