Arenium Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Recently bought (yeah, i wanted the stickers :wink: ) RH9 and installed it. WOOHOO! This is great so far. I installed all packages at setup and have php and apache all set. In fact, it was already taken care of, all i had to do was type $ httpd start folder! I\'m thinking it\'s just a redhat 9 thing, because i checked and the package was installed. Also, when i tried to run safe_mysqld i get Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 030419 18:38:27 mysqld ended Again, when i made a simple PHP file called mysql.php i get Warning: Can\'t connect to local MySQL server through socket \'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock\' (111) in /var/www/html/mysql.php on line 2 Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can\'t connect to local MySQL server through socket \'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock\' (111) in /var/www/html/mysql.php on line 2 Now is it just me, or does something conflict in all these tuts im reading. In that error and in the safe_mysqld message, they both refer to /var/lib/mysql instead of /usr/local/mysql/. This just leaves me more in the clouds. GAH! Thanks in advance for any help, P.S.- So far, RH9 is excellent, rock solid and found ALL drivers and hardware better than windows Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/368-startig-mysql-in-redhat-9/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
effigy Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 is anything under /var/lib/mysql? try and find the hostname.err file to get more information. also, look in, i think -- /etc/rc.d/init.d for a script with mysql in it\'s name, you can view it to find which directories it\'s pulling off of.

effigy Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 haven\'t used the program... go into the login script and find out what the POST var is of the username... [php:1:3b469317b7] if($_POST[\'username\']!=\'root\') { exit; } [/php:1:3b469317b7] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/368-startig-mysql-in-redhat-9/#findComment-1272 Share on other sites More sharing options...
