Hi,
I am new using Linux and I do not know if this problem comes from mysql or linux.
I am trying to run mysql in Linux Fedora core 11. I installed mysql but when I tried to log in mysql as a root with mysql -s root -p. I am getting this error:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
I checked mysql.sock and this file is empty.
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks,

I'd suggest making sure that MySQL is running first. Do a "ps -ef | grep mysql", to see if anything is there. If not, as root, type in "/etc/init.d/mysql start"

1) how did you install mysql ? from yum and using the fedora rpm? or the mysql bin from the mysql web site?
2) have you set up a root account ??? ( i use phpMyAdmin)
3) is mysql running ? and is it a start up daemon or what ?
4) also fedora 11 is about to hit it's END OF LIFE in just over a month
so in about 60 days or less -- there will NEVER be any updates to fedora 11 ever .
please install the current fedora 12 or in about a month install fedora 13.
