Re: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

Hello all, I'm facing the same problem with mysql-5.0.37-linux-i686-glibc23.

Starting mysql seems to be no problem:

maya:/usr/local# /etc/init.d/mysqld start
Starting mysqld
maya:/usr/local# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data
maya:/usr/local#

mysql always worked fine for me, but after upgrading from 5.0.27 to 5.0.37 suddenly the mysql.sock is not found. With 5.0.27 and before this was never an issue, so this rules out permission problems.

maya:/# ls -al /tmp | grep mysql
maya:/#

No socket found!

Also the possibility of another location for the socket can be outruled:

maya:/# updatedb
maya:/# locate mysql.sock
maya:/#

doesn't return anything, and

maya:/# find / -type s
/dev/log
find: /proc/19822/fd/4: No such file or directory
maya:/#

doesn't return mysql socket either.

maya:/# nmap localhost

Starting nmap 3.81 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2007-03-15 02:03 CET

doesn't return mysql running on tcp/ip either.

My hostname.err is only telling me:
070315 01:42:51 mysqld started
070315 01:43:01 mysqld ended

This is really frustrating, because i would like to run the latest version of mysql.

I'm running kernel 2.4.34.1 on Linux Debian 3.1 (stable).

Thanks in advance & kind regards,

Dick
