Re: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

[F.A.I.Z.A.L]

Hi

thanks for your reply.

i found the problem, the problem was due to maintenance activity IT team
rebooted the machine but they didn't start the mysql server after reboot.

i executed mysqld with root credit. i got the below output but still the
cursor not return to prompt

bash-2.03# /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld -u root
091027 15:35:09  InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 625687
091027 15:35:10 [Note] /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld: ready for
connections.
Version: '5.0.51-log'  socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock'  port: 3306  Source
distribution

can you verify this. is it correct.

thanks in advance..
