Hi Team,
Again i started with mysql 5.0.45, asterisk 1.2.27, slackware 12.0. finshed with the required apps, came across the same base install guide, this time downloaded and installed astguiclient, but could'nt start my sql server or client. following is the message when i tried :
root@Astkeve2:~# mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (40)
when i tried "/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql" i got the same error message. I have double checked this line (ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock) while doing mysql installation. In fact, i have double checked mysql is working while i was in the final step of 'required_apps_install'... after this @ some point of other installations (i dunno what?) mysql fails and /tmp/mysql.sock dis appears.. any idea.
BTW, this is second time happening to me, so i jdid re-installation from scratch (carefully), but result is the same. I am just posting this for forum, some one might have faced the same.
Regards
Kondela
