I have completed all the steps successfully. However,
I am not able to
create database as said in step 7. To check that MySQL is working on my
system, I used the command: /etc/init.d/mysqld start
It says: Starting MySQL : [OK]
To check openser is running: I used the command, /etc/init.d/openser start
I get on command line: Starting openser: [OK]
However, when i try to create database: /usr/local/sbin/openserdbctl
create
I get the error as:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.socket' (2)
Hi Megha,
do you verified that the mysql database is accessible at the system, using
the mysql client? Perhaps there is a misconfiguration on your system,
causes eg. that only access over a certain network interface is possible.
The empty socket file that is present on your system is ok.
Cheers,
Henning
