hello,

linux is great

but I have a question: when i modify my.conf of mysql ,e.g in the [mysqld] field set skip-locking to off, set update-log to true and so on
I get this when i restart mysql:

error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists!

thanks for help!
