Here's a quick update to the problem I posted (which I'll include just for convinience sake).
I went into /usr/share and I ran "mysql.server start" and it returned just this: "020105 18:22:20 mysqld ended" Any more thoughts? -=-=-=-Previous message-=-=-=- I have a RedHat 7.2 machine going, and I'm getting the following error when I run "mysqltest" after starting the MySQL Daemon... <Snip> mysqltest: Failed in mysql_real_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) <Snip> First of all, I've relocated the "data directory" to "/OmegaNET/DataCore" which is a seperate, larger hard drive in my system. Also, I've checked the permissions of the "/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock" file AND it's directory, and they both have the correct user/group/permissions. I've tried the "/tmp/mysql.sock" symlink fix, and that hasn't yielded any results. I've consulted every article I could find in http://groups.google.com and have been unable to find a solution to this problem. I'm uncertain as to what is causing it, and if someone could help me out, I'd be ETERNALLY greatful! Send me an e-mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks in advance! -Alexander Trauzzi
