Hello all, I'm using MySQL 3.23 on a Slackware 8 machine. I have compiled it and can get mysqld up and running. Problem is, after I get it running I can't do anything. By that I mean I will get the following error when try to run pretty much any command.
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!
Now, mysql.sock exists and I have the following permissions set on it in that directory:
root@XERES:/var/run/mysql# ls -l mysql.sock
srwxrwxrwx 1 mysql mysql 0 Nov 28 15:07
Any help on this situation would be *greatly* appreciated as I've been having this problem for about a week now and have yet to find anyone who could solve it
Thank you in advance.
Tyler
