Hi guys,
I don't know if you are still having that problem or
not, so i am going to try to help you as I had the
same problem at one time.
When you install mysql a "mysql" daemon user account
is added to the system (maybe at that time maybe
earlier). This account needs to have permissions to
the folder containing the temporary mysql.sock file
that is created when the server is running. This is
usually accomplished by the SuSE provided start up
script executed when you run mysql for the first time
after the instal through the run level editor. If that
does not happen try the following command for the
folder described in the error message I believe
/var/lib/MySQL
1.su to root
2.then issue
chmod -R <directory> mysql
check the man page on this one as I am not sure if
this is the correct format.
3. restart the server.
4. try connecting.
hope this helps.

Thanks. It looks like the file is in the right path. -- The vast majority of our imports come from outside the country." - George W. Bush, January 29, 2001, Washington, DC
