mysql.sock

[frozenpeas]

Can someone post their mysql.sock file so I can see what it should look like?

Thanks.

The mysql.sock file shouldn't have any content, it's just a UNIX socket. //Daniel

Thanks.

so how does one create a new mysql.sock if it has been deleted?

 

[frozenpeas]

I used Pico.

You can't, a socket is generated at program startup into the unix environment.

Restarting mysql should reinstate your socket unless its been disabled.

If you are receiving "Unable to connect to mysql on localhost using socket /patyh/to/some.socket (111)"
then check the permissions on the directory containing the socket. ______________________________________________________________________
