I have installed mySql following the instructions on this page: <A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> The instructions look the same as in the install instructions that followed. The installation went fine, but when i run the command ./safe_mysqld & it deletes the "mySql.sock" in the /tmp/ dir and the /usr/local/mySql/var/ServerName.pid files. Because of this i get a "Can't connect to localhost with mySql.sock (117)" error.<br><br>Why is this? It seem silly for the program to remove a file and then produce an error because it doesn't exists.
