Still the same error occures:

You need to run "rcmysql status" ar root to see if the service is running.
I verified that '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' did not exist. Below is however the content of /var/lib/mysql/mysqld.log *) And where is e.g. the boot log file located to verify the messages I saw regarding startup of MySQL?
/var/log/boot.msg (and .omsg for the previous one).
Have I missed some steps that need to done after the Yast2 installation? Can possibly phpMyAdmin be used for this troubleshooting?
The first time you run ""rcmysql start" it should create the initial database with the proper permissions. That's the theory :-) You could try deleting the files and retry. :-? -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
