problem in mysql connecting

by **mohdali1** » Mon Mar 03, 2003 10:06 pm

I recently installed mysql database from redhat linux 7.2 distribution in form of RPM package but when I tried to connect the test database using

mysql -utest
The following error message displayed:

Error 2002:

Can't connect to local mysql server through socket "/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock" (111)

If anyone knows please help me solve the problem

you have to load the daemon first.

/usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld &

Thanks for your reply.

I tried to load the daemon and it started successfully but I received the same error when connect to test database through

mysql -utest

Would u please explain me the purpose of "/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock" file or any other suggestions.
