Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket

Postby nikola » 05. January 2005 11:40

hello,

I have installed xampp 0.4 for solaris and put it in /var directory.
Started xampp and tried to log in to mysql and got this error message:


"ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/opt/xampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) "

I checked in /var/opt/xampp/etc/my.cnf for directory path and is
set to: socket = /var/opt/xampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock


Thanks a lot for help.

Dear nikola!

Looks like the MySQL server isn't running. Could you please take a look into the .err file in /var/opt/xampp/var/mysql/. Do you find any error messages?

And what output do you get if you're calling: ps -elf | egrep mysql

Best regards

Oh sorry, forget everything I wrote above. Just noticed the path in the error message you posted.

From what kind of program do you get the error message? PHP?

Hello, Oswald,

this was result off :
#
# ./mysql mysql
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/opt/xampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
#
#

I think, mysqld was running, started by starting xampp.
Thank you a lot.

Best regards,

Dear nikola!

You just found a bug in XAMPP for Solaris. :? But a found bug is a good bug! ;)

The command line mysql client do not load the my.cnf configuration file and don't know where to find the mysql.sock file. I'm now trying to fix this problem. But it's a bigger problem and I need some time to fix this.

A simple workaround is to set the socket file in the command line:

./mysql --socket=/var/opt/xampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock

But I'll try to fix this problem as soon as possible.
