Subject: ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server (2)
List-Archive: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/516
Message-Id: <199903181955.OAA01844@widow.farmer.org>

>Description:

This is the second time I setup MySql.  I had a hard drive crash and re-installed.  I lost all of /usr/local.  I'm using the binary version for Solaris 2.6.  I've read thru all the docs related to this error.  mysqld.sock does exist and mysqld is running as seen below.  I have done nothing special beyond install instructions. One thing that is strange is it stating domain name when doing mysqladmin -h widow version, is that normal?

Am at a stand-still. Any help would be appreciated.

>How-To-Repeat:

widow# mysql test
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server (2)

widow# mysqladmin -h localhost version
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!

widow# mysqladmin -h widow version
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'widow' failed
error: 'Host 'widow.farmer.org' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server'

widow# ls -l /tmp
