Socket not found

--000e0cd1ff3ecd2e9f04aed95b5d

I just loaded and built three different versions of mysql and all three
versions have given me the same results. When trying to change the password
to root, this is what I get:

../mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'
(2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists!

Help please.

Peter

Hey Peter,

2 options;

Check the socket key-value in the my.cnf file under the client section.
Explicitly tell mysqladmin what one to use with the relevant cmd line
option. See the documentation for syntax.

/tmp/ is a really bad location because tmpwatch is killing old files ther=
e
and a mysqld usually runs for weeks - no idea why this is the upstream
default and why mysqld does not recognize this and restore the file

fedora is using /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock as configure-option and all
applications like php, dbmail... are also compiled fpr this location
