MySQL on Linux

(I apologize for my "ugly" english... :-)

I'm a beginner with Linux (Mandrake 9.1) and try to run my own local web
server. Apache 1.3.27 et PHP 4.3.3 are OK. The problem is MySQL...

I tried with the 3.23.56 version and the 4.0.1. Always, I recompiled.

I have installed also phpMyAdmin (once agin, in 2 versions) in order to
understand what happened. It is able to connect to the database but not to
read the data. I tried to "see" my datas with phpMyAdmin ("Browse") but my
browser gives me this message in agialog box: "Connection to host localhost
is broken".

In fact, in the bottom of the phpMyAdmin interface, it is said:

The additional Features for working with linked Tables have been
deactivated. To find out why click here.

When I "click here" I read:

PMA Database ... not OK[ Documentation ]
General relation features Disabled

My PHP scripts (there are ok on a running server) doesn't work correctly.
They can connect to the DB but are note able to read the data, the same
problem. I have a message:

Warning: mysql_fetch_arr ay(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result
resource in /home/** on line **

What's the problem? Could you help me please? If you need for more
informations, please ask, I have some things to say but I want to be sure
that it is worthy beacause it's not so easy to write in english for me...
(as you can see!)

Do you think is a permission promble on linux? A configuration error on
MySQL? Thanks in advance for your help!

Are you compiling everything from source or is Apache and php Mandrake RPMs?

If you already have a 'mysql" user on the linux box, su - mysql and
[mysql@host_name mysql_home]/path_to_mysql/safe_mysqld. That works and
you don't need to start mysqld with --user option

can I jump in here?

I've got RH 9.0
I've got mysql loading at boot
but
when I try the command

../bin/mysqladmin create testDB

I get

[craig@localhost mysql]$ ./bin/mysqladmin version
../bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists!

can you make some sense out of this.

what is this mysql.sock

thank you

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
