Thank you so much for the quick replies. When I do the command "ps aux | grep mysql" I get a lot of entries that look like this:
Code:
mysql 455 0.0 20.8 43672 13056 ? S 09:49 0:00 /mnt/opt/mysql/libexec/mysqld --basedir=/mnt/opt/mysql --datadir=/mnt/opt/mysql/var --user=mysql --pid-file=/mnt/opt/mysql/var/Paragon.pid --skip-external-locking --port=3306 --socket=/tmp/mysql.sock
root 1267 0.0 0.9 1648 580 pts/0 S+ 09:53 0:00 grep mysql
Paragon:/mnt/opt/mysql#
I have my.conf located in the /etc folder and it looks like this (I edited out the commented lines):
Code:
[client]
#password = your_password
port = 3306
socket = /tmp/mysql.sock
# Here follows entries for some specific programs
# The MySQL server
[mysqld]
port = 3306
socket = /tmp/mysql.sock

I did add a user (mysql) and a password. I also added a root password. I could not find a log file in any of those places.
