When I try to start mysqld (I have made sure it's not running) with the following command:
mysqld -uNAMEOFMYUSER
I get the following error:
050713 17:13:16 Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission denied
050713 17:13:16 Do you already have another mysqld server running on
socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock ?
050713 17:13:16 Aborting
050713 17:13:16 mysqld: Shutdown Complete
any suggestions?
never mind, thanks for looking, but problem solved by typing as root
mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
