hey guys,
I get a weird error when I try to run mysql for the first time
linux-h6kn:/home/harvested # mysql -hlocalhost -uroot -pas
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)
even if the file exists and it’s empty it still can’t connect to the mysql server
i’ve chect /etc/my.cnf and skip-networking is commented…
i’ve read…countless forums for the last…4-5 hours and I still couldn’t find a solution…
thanks,
Andrei

so what is in the log?
ok, I’ve managed to solve the problem
so, mym mistake was…after I zypper-ed in mysql I’ve run
mysql_install_db
which I shouldn’t
the proper way is to install mysql and then
service mysql start
which starts the server and the connect to it…using the client…
I’ve removed the server and installed it again…and now it works fine…
