I've installed MySQL in a machine Pentium II, with Red Hat and Stronhold, everything
seemed to go right until I try to do a test using this:
./mysqladmin version
the error is the next:
./mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists!
Also when I try to stop the server (the server is running) using this command
./mysql.server stop
the message error is this:
No mysqld pid file found. Looked for /usr/local/mysql/data/mysqld.pid.
I've looked for this file but it doesn't exists.
I need help
Thank you
