Hi
Total newby to centos I am currently assisting a community radio
station set up in the Uk we are using a server based system for
our playout software, unfortunately at the moment one of our
client servers is experience the above error I came across the
error on our main server a few weeks ago and found the solution
just by reinstalling the MySQL db but I have tried to deploy the
same fix on our client server otherwise known as studio-b client
but unfortunately this has not solved the problem any assistance
with this would be very much appreciated.
All the best
Graham Wilman
When you get this error have you confirmed that mysqld is actually
running, e.g., with a "ps"?
What is the output from:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld status
Normally the socket file is:
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
(note the capitalization).
If mysql is running, check the name (including capitalization) of
the socket directory/file. If it's (the standard) lowercase, then
check the client software configuration to see if there's something
pointing to the mixed-case form that your error is showing. [The
default location for the mysql configuration file is /etc/my.cnf,
but it can be in other locations.]
