Fresh install of Slackware 10. The normal mysql ended problem upon startup,
that I assumed was fixed with the mysql_install command as described in lots
of troubleshooting info on the web.
I compiled myth, then went to setup mysql, and ran this command:
mysql -u root < mc.sql
which failed and gave this:
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MYSQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
So I figured mysql wasn't running. So I rebooted, and got the same thing. So
I read some more information, and tried starting mysql manually with this
command:
/usr/bin/mysqld_safe &
which thinks for a few seconds then ends again.
I don't know what else to try. anyone have any ideas on this problem?
