ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket

i get this when i do '/etc/rc.d/rc.mysql start'

ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

ive had a look on google, and the problem for most people seems to be
permissions, but im running as root, and the socket doesn't exist. It
doesn't create the socket when it runs, because i tried putting mysql in
the root user group.

i do have a script that clears the /tmp on login, but i dont think that
would affect it

any idea's any1?

TIA

Not sure if this is truly a mySQL issue or a PHP issue, since the problem started when I reconfigured/made a PHP upgrade:We're using RedHat ES2.1. With PHP 4.1.3 and phpMyAdmin 2.5.6, it was working fine. Then I upgraded to PHP 4.3.4. And I started getting the error: MySQL said: #2002 - Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) through phpMyAdmin, and from mySQL at the command line: #2002 - Can't connect...

This is a bit of a newbie question -- I've just installed MySQL 4.1.13 on a Fedora core 3 system. It installed great. It wasn't hard to get it running and create a few databases. But I can't seem to make the client shell run from anywhere but the mysql/bin directory. I've placed the /usr/local/mysql/bin directory in my PATH, but I still have to change to this directory to make the MySQL shell to work. If I'm try to run it from any other...

The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
