I am trying to run Drupal and I need to create a SQL Database.

 

On 10/20/07 I Yummed the newest MySQL on Fedora Core 6 and installed it along with the GUI packages.

 

I cant run any commands because apperently it cannot communicate with it's self through the socket and it gives me errors: 2002, 2005, and 2000.

 

I also dont understand how it works at all so I need "noob" answers.

 

I have no idea what socket it is telling me. Something like var/sql/sql???.Socket (2)

And I currently dont have acces to the server (At a friends house)

 

Is there a way to set up a remote administration system for MySQL on Fedora?

 

What would my Username and Password be?

??? ???

If you have sshd installed then you can login to it remotely; if you're on windows you can use putty ( http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ )

Or if you're on *nix it's likely to already have the ssh client installed. Your username and password would be the same as what you use to login to the computer.

 

You'll need to check to make sure mysqld is running, you can check by using ps

ps aux |grep -i mysql

 

If it doesn't show it's running then try to start it

/etc/init.d/mysqld start
# it may be without the d
/etc/init.d/mysql start

 

post back if more help is needed

How would I be able to log into the server remotely?

 

I want to do it on a Windows machine.....

 

Download and install putty for windows. This will allow you to ssh into the Linux machine.

 

Is there documentation or a website with documentation on a website that covers every aspect of MySQL?

 

Indeed. http://mysql.org
