hola,

aighty, here is what i am coming accross... i got MySQL up and running, when i log into MySQL using bin/safe_mysqld & it creates the mysql.sock file in var/lib/

now i have to run bin/mysql_setpermission
whenever i type in that command though i get the following error..

Can't connect through socket 'tmp/mysql.sock' at bin/mysql_setpermission line 70, <STDIN> Line 1.

do i have to go in somewhere and change that tmp connection to connect at var/lib? if so where? or whatelse could the problem be? i am a total newbie with this stuff so any help is greatly appreciated
