[cobalt-users] can't login to mysql

[James Godwin <jgodwin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I download the mysql pkg from 
http://pkg.nl.cobalt.com/i386/RaQ3-RaQ4-MySQL-3.22.32-1.pkg

Installed.

I thought I had to simply type "mysql" to login in to mysql.

I get this message when I

[root@fresh1 cobalt]# mysql
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket 
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)

I then tried to restart mysql
[root@fresh1 cobalt]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql stop
No mysqld pid file found. Looked for /var/lib/mysql/mysqld.pid.

No mysqld pid file found so I

[root@fresh1 cobalt]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start

Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
mysqld daemon ended

Still get the same message when I try login.

[root@fresh1 cobalt]# mysql
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket 
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)
[root@fresh1 cobalt]#

What am I doing wrong? Any help our suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

James
