Thansk for your suggestion Steve, see what I have. I don't know why by default server wants a sock in /var/lib/mysql and why it doesnt exists anymore ? How to create a new one ?
A search [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~]# find / -name mysql.sock /var/tmp/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock /usr/local/lib/mysql.sock I try to force sock in tmp dir [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~]# tail /etc/my.cnf [client] socket=/tmp/mysql.sock [mysqld] set-variable = max_connections=500 socket=/tmp/mysql.sock [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~]# mysql ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111) [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~]# tail ~/.my.cnf [client] user=root pass=****** [mysqladmin] password=****** user=root and now # is a comment, without any directive [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~]# tail /etc/my.cnf #[client] #socket=/tmp/mysql.sock [mysqld] set-variable = max_connections=500 #socket=/tmp/mysql.sock [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~]# mysql ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) You advise me to test the other socks ?
