Hi All,
I've got an problem with starting mysql.
When i do "rcmysql start" (as root) i get the following output :
rcmysql start
Updating MySQL privilege database...

Looking for 'mysqlcheck' in: /usr/bin/mysqlcheck

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/.protected/mysql.sock' (13)
FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed
The dir. /var/lib/mysql/.protected/ exists but there is no mysql.sock when i look in this folder.
(i see an hidden file in /var/lib/mysql/ named .run-mysql_upgrade maybe that has something to do with it ?)
Now im realy stuck and cant get it to work. Mysql log tells me the following :
081124 21:13:53 mysqld started
081124 21:13:53 InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 43655
081124 21:13:53 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld: ready for connections.
Version: '5.0.67' socket: '/var/lib/mysql/.protected/mysql.sock' port: 0 SUSE MySQL RPM

081124 21:13:54 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown complete
081124 21:13:54 mysqld ended
When i rename the .run-mysql_upgrade file to > #.run-mysql_upgrade I can start the msql by going to YAST > System > System Services (Runlevel)and enable Mysql ( tells me succes with 0 errors.)
But when i type in the following : mysql -u root
i get the error : ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)
Dont have a clue what this could be.
I looked up my_cfg :
# Example MySQL config file for medium systems.
#
# This is for a system with little memory (32M - 64M) where MySQL plays
# an important part, or systems up to 128M where MySQL is used together with
# other programs (such as a web server)
#
# You can copy this file to
# /etc/my.cnf to set global options,
# mysql-data-dir/my.cnf to set server-specific options (in this
# installation this directory is /var/lib/mysql) or
# ~/.my.cnf to set user-specific options.
#
# In this file, you can use all long options that a program supports.
# If you want to know which options a program supports, run the program
# with the "--help" option.
# The following options will be passed to all MySQL clients
[client]
#password = your_password

# Don't listen on a TCP/IP port at all. This can be a security enhancement,

# Replication Slave (comment out master section to use this)
#
# To configure this host as a replication slave, you can choose between
# two methods :
#
# 1) Use the CHANGE MASTER TO command (fully described in our manual) -
# the syntax is:
#
# CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST=<host>, MASTER_PORT=<port>,
# MASTER_USER=<user>, MASTER_PASSWORD=<password> ;
#
# where you replace <host>, <user>, <password> by quoted strings and
# <port> by the master's port number (3306 by default).
#
# Example:
#
# CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='125.564.12.1', MASTER_PORT=3306,
# MASTER_USER='joe', MASTER_PASSWORD='secret';
#
# OR
#
# 2) Set the variables below. However, in case you choose this method, then
# start replication for the first time (even unsuccessfully, for example
# if you mistyped the password in master-password and the slave fails to
# connect), the slave will create a master.info file, and any later
# change in this file to the variables' values below will be ignored and
# overridden by the content of the master.info file, unless you shutdown
# the slave server, delete master.info and restart the slaver server.
# For that reason, you may want to leave the lines below untouched
# (commented) and instead use CHANGE MASTER TO (see above)
#
# required unique id between 2 and 2^32 - 1
# (and different from the master)
# defaults to 2 if master-host is set
# but will not function as a slave if omitted
#server-id = 2
#
# The replication master for this slave - required
#master-host = <hostname>
#
# The username the slave will use for authentication when connecting
# to the master - required
#master-user = <username>
#
# The password the slave will authenticate with when connecting to
# the master - required
#master-password = <password>
#
# The port the master is listening on.

I see in other posts here it could be that root is the owner, but it's not.

Now i cant get any further with the lamp installation and get phpmyadmin installed

I'm Sorry for my crappy english. I'll hope some1 is willing to help me solve this issue.
Thanks,
Sander
