[cobalt-developers] Re: RaQ 550 & mysql

[support@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi, 

sounds wired: How do you try to access mysql by web? What application do
you use? Is it configured properly? Is mysql runnig? Have you installed
mysql and its components properly? Did you use the package from pkgmaster? 

Can you connect from console with:
mysql -u root 

If not, try:
ps -ax | grep mysql 

This should display at least one or three mysql-processes. 

If not, try:
/etc/rc.d/mysql stop
/etc/rc.d/mysql start 

If you still can't connect, does the socket /tmp/mysql.sock exist?
Try ls -al /tmp/ and you should see it. If it exists, stop mysql with
/etc/rc.d/mysql stop
and rename or delete /tmp/mysql.sock and afterwards restart
/etc/rc.d/mysql start 

(this helped me out with a non-working socket, after deleting it and
restarting mysql it created a new socket). 

Hope this helps a bit, good luck.
Yours
Jan*
