This is a repost of a post to the mysql list. The only response I
received there was that I shouldn'g mess with the permission tables
directly. My problem is connecting to mysql.sock. This may be
addressed more appropriately here on the RH list. Hope someone can give
me a hand.
I'd appreciate some pointers to get me going in the right direction
MySQL version 3.22.30
OS Linux RH 6.1 on Athlon 700
I am having trouble connecting to mysql as anything other than root.
I have added a user with
insert into user host, user, password values('localhost',
'inspiron', password('rwhart') ) ;
select host, user, password from user; lists the user, server and an
encrypted password okay.
Then I logout and log back in as user 'XXXXXXX' with pwd 'YYYYYY' then
issue
mysql -h localhost -u inspiron -prwhart
Note: 'XXXXXXX' and 'YYYYYYY' above are different and of mixed case
that the username and passwords used to connect to MySQL.
The follow error is returned:
error 2002: Can't connect o local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql.sock' (111)
Does anyone have some suggestions re: where to start ferreting out the
fix. My reasons are that I am trying to learn PHP based scripting for
interactive web pages that I plan to implement on an intranet for a
medical database.
TIA
