**techz_boy** · 08-25-2005

hi i'm downloading mysql "mysql-standard-4.1.13-pc-linux-gnu-i686"
i've extract it to the folder

when i do thi s:

Code:

./bin/mysqladmin -u root password

then the error:

Code:

error&#58; 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' &#40;111&#41;'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket&#58; '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists!

when i got this error i found the mysql was already running...

try

mysql --user=root

and see how that works (sorry if i got the command wrong..lol.. try 'man mysql' and try to run mysql as root mysql user without a password)

Code:

 ./mysql

the error :

Code:

ERROR 2002 &#40;HY000&#41;&#58; Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' &#40;111&#41;

and then i copy the file "mysql.server" from my folder of mysql "file:/home/techz_boy/source/LAMP/mysql-standard-4.1.13-pc-linux-gnu-i686/support-files" to /etc/init.d/

 &#91;root@localhost support-files&#93;# ./mysql.server start
./mysql.server&#58; line 172&#58; my_print_defaults&#58; command not found
./mysql.server&#58; line 188&#58; cd&#58; /usr/local/mysql&#58; No such file or directory
 ERROR! Can't execute ./bin/mysqld_safe
