[gentoo-user] ... Can't connect to local MySQL server ...

[Fredrik Lundgren]

All Gentoos,

In the rebuild of my crashed Gentoo box
I recently emerged dev-db/mysql 5.0.18-r30
and defined the password for root.
When I try to visit with
$ mysql -u root -p
password. *******

I get
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket 
'var/run/mysqld.sock' (2)

Evidently my configuration is wrong

Has anyone a tip or two ?

and how do I get mysql to start at boot?



Best wishes Fredrik
