Have tried to connect on my mysql but all I could get are error messeges but had installed all the requrements in the beginning of my slakeware 10.2 installation. Please what could be the problem?

What errors do you get exactly?

Is it the server that you can't get to work or is it the client where you have problems?

Maybe it needs to be connected to the internet first? try installing slackware first then after you have the internet hooked up try it.. Maybe..

chown mysql.mysql /var/run/mysql
chmod 777 -R /var/run/mysql
