alright guys/gals, hope ya can help me here, im stumped!!!
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)
is the error. however, my.cnf :
[mysqld]
datadir=/home/mysql
socket=/home/mysql/mysql.sock
[mysql.server]
user=mysql
basedir=/home
[safe_mysqld]
err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
doesnt even tell it to use that directory..... iv created a sym link to the home/mysql folder (my atempt at trying to be a little tidier than the standard setup, even if its only surface appearance)
but thats irrelevant, it dont work even if the cnf file points at the var/lib/mysql folder
