mysqld.sock
 

Hi
When i try to operate mysql i got an error because of mysqld.sock,how to create mysqld.sock under Debian, in /var/run/mysqld.

Hi -

mysqld.sock gets created by mySQL when you start it - you don't create it yourself.

Try starting mySQL manually, as "root" (e.g. "/etc/rc/init.d/mysqld start").

The problem is almost certainly permissions.

'Hope that helps .. PSM

I don't think that it's permissions:
Did you setup the initial database before starting the server?
Did you start the server (see paulsm4's post for the how)?

PS Not programming related

Do this: Go into your /etc/init.d/mysql script. There should be something toward the top about using sockets and to uncomment (or comment out, I forget exactly which) a line in that script to not use sockets. I did this a couple months back. It's pretty self explanatory.

Then do a mysql restart. You should then be able to connect.
