Hi, mysqld will create it when it runs - have you started the server?
Quentin -----Original Message----- From: Mike Blain [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 20 December 2001 2:07 p.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: mysql.sock?? I just recently installed MySQL from source. Trying to set the root password and keep getting this error: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists! How do I create mysql.sock?
