<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How can I get the MySQL database to run... I can't
get to the database setup screen. When I 'mysql -u root mysql' , i get the
error: <SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Nimbus Roman No9 L'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Nimbus Sans L'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">Can't
connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2). If
I type mythtv at the commandline, It mearly says New DB connection, total :1. I
followed the guide on <A
href="http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php#mysql">http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php#mysql</A> ,
but it gave me the above errors. Also, is there a way to bypass the database and
just watch tv? ... Thanks... Ian</SPAN></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
