i did
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --with=unix-socket=/tmp/
well the socket shouldhave been /tmp/mysql.sock so when i start the server i get an error "rm: /tmp is a directory" so i deleted the mysql directory and recompiled without the socket option, i got the same error. so i deleted the folder, and tried installing the RPM. think it worked? NO. lol
so i recompiled with the right socket info, and its STILL no good. finally i did
find / -name mysql -print
and deleted ALL the mysql folders and links across the board. then RECOMPILED AGAIN and well... im about to throw this server out the window. id reinstall but i just got sendmail and dns configured, along with apache. it would KILL me to have to do all that again! please give me a little advice! thanks, Mike
