I'm having problems running mySQL on my Cobalt RaQ4 server. It came already installed and in the beginning, I was able to access the program just fine and create a few databases. Now, it will not access the mysql program at all. When I try to launch the program, I get the error "ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/home/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)." I've tried to restart the database using mysql_install_db and it seems to go through just fine. But, when I type in mysql to use the program I get that error message. It doesn't seem to create the mysql.sock file at all. What can I do to fix this?
I know this problem has been posted before, but I've looked through the responses and they didn't seem to work for me.
By the way, this seemed to all start when I tried to create a password for my root login.
