Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'
Hello,
I have tried to install mysql binary, on my GNU/linux. but I am getting this error : Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock everytime. I don't have root access, how do I configure the mysql so it's installed locally. please help me with this. Thank you |
hello,
Make sure your sql is running.... "service mysql status" If you are sure , if it is running..then you need to set root password first. steps: 1.service mysql(or mysqld) stop 2.mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking$ this will take a 10 or more minutes and reply you with Starting mysql daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql now you can able to enter without password. try :#mysql -uroot this will let you login. mysql>UPDATE user SET password=PASSWORD where user="root"; This command will update your root password. now exit from mysql. You can now login with new password. mysql -uroot -p password: |
The commands on the linux command line may differ for other distributions. Which distro are you using?
If you use Slackware, there are instructions in /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld how to create a 'default' database. On the commandline: Code:
su - mysql |
