HI, I'm using Debian Linux(while I have no idea how to check its version), and running SER on my PC. I installed MySQL 4.1.14 and SER 0.9.4, chmoded the /tmp directory to 777, and the MySQL server runs well. But when I start SER, it does not run and leaves some error message in syslog like this: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oct 10 14:31:03 Serverhost /usr/sbin/ser[6525]: Maxfwd module- initializing Oct 10 14:31:03 Serverhost /usr/sbin/ser[6525]: new_connection(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) Oct 10 14:31:03 Serverhost /usr/sbin/ser[6525]: db_init(): Could not create a connection Oct 10 14:31:03 Serverhost /usr/sbin/ser[6525]: ERROR: auth_db_ver: unable to open database connection Oct 10 14:31:03 Serverhost /usr/sbin/ser[6525]: auth_db:str_fixup(): Error while querying table version Oct 10 14:31:03 Serverhost /usr/sbin/ser[6525]: ERROR: fix_expr : fix_actions error -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock doest not exist, but the MySQL still runs well. I also don't know if it is correct. Does anyone know how to resolve this? Thank you!
