Very Computer

When I try to, for example, create a DB, here's the message I get, even
as root

./mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket:
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!

Anyone have any ideas what's going on?

I've also had some weird problems on bootup, where NFS lockd times out
with no response from localhost!

Please respond if you have any ideas.

Thanks

--------
The mysql packages shipped with Red Hat Linux 7.0 don't allow users to
access the socket, causing the package to work for users "root" and "mysql"

only. Also, the pid file handling has been fixed.

I'd say load the latest and try again. Hope this helps.

I have just spent a couple of nights reviving a Java <>  MySql program, that
ran fine on RH 6.2

After a clean RH 7.0 install the old java stand alone (no-gui.jar) program
could not connect to the old data base
mm.mysql driver. - error message was internally generated by mm.mysql.

Quote:>> "Server configuration denies access to data source".

Java application can connect from local net, but not from the local machine!  I
suspect that mm.mysql was trying to find the local
socket and could not. I have no idea how to tell mm.mysql what the local name
socket is.

------

My solution was to take all the fancy installation determination stuff out of
safe_mysqld, hard code the installation stuff there, put a
copy my.cnf  with the same information in  /etc,  and hard code the
installation data in mysql_configuration.

--------

An open issue the system is getting the mysql_setaccess script
(perl5.00  DBI) to run.
